Nice! But the printing telegraph didn’t happen until 1846, not 1843, and
though they were in wide use on America’s East Coast by 1850, it probably
would have taken that Samurai a couple years to hear about it and get to
one, so…

More like a *17* year window for a Samurai to send a “fax” to Abe Lincoln…
