Description
Correspondence from Stewart, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee, to Mabel Francis Gray, Memphis, Tennessee, 1934 June 9.
Excerpt: "Please pardon this rude note, but I have a friend who possesses a very powerful short wave transmitter and receiver here in Knoxville. He connects with Memphis every Sunday, and so don't be surprised to receive a relayed message from me some Sunday night around the hour of six. The message would be sent from here to an amateur receiving station in Memphis and the obliging Memphis operator would telephone the note to you at home. Sounds crazy, doesn't it? You're right, is is crazy. But it is unique, and I may attempt to say 'Hello' or something thru the dot and dash system. What do you think of it???"
