The Story of the Atlantic Telegraph
·
Henry M. Field
219
"You
will
permit
us
to
suggest
that
the
shore
ends
of
the
Atlantic
Cable
should
be
composed
of
very
heavy
wires,
as
from
our
experience
the
only
accidents
that
have
arisen
to
any
of
the
cables
that
we
have
laid
have
been
caused
by
ships'
anchors,
and
none
of
those
laid
out
of
anchorage
ground
have
ever
cost
one
shilling
for
repairs.
"The
cable
that
we
would
suggest
for
the
Atlantic
will
be
an
improvement
on
all
those
yet
manufactured,
and
we
firmly
believe
will
be
imperishable
when
once
laid.
"We
remain,
sir,
yours
faithfully,
"Glass,
Elliot
&
Co."
