telegrammed
Dispatched by wire
Telegrammed is the past tense of telegram, meaning to send a message by telegraph—the electrical communication system that dominated long-distance messaging before telephones: She telegrammed the news to her family.
The word survives mainly in historical contexts, though it occasionally appears figuratively for urgent, terse communication.
