telegraphically
With extreme brevity
Telegraphically means in a brief, clipped manner—like a telegram, where every word costs money.
Someone who writes or speaks telegraphically uses the fewest words possible, often omitting articles and connectors: She responded telegraphically: "Arrived. Safe. Call tomorrow." The word can also mean literally by telegraph, though this sense has faded with the technology.
