This phrase originated around the 1850s. Back then, people communicated via telegraphic dispatch, and the sender of the telegram was charged for each word in the telegram. Therefore, people started cutting their sentences and omitting words in order to reduce the charge. At the end of each correspondence, instead of saying “I will talk to you later”, the sender will write “Speak soon.” This trend continued till about 1855 and over time, it was used in emails, especially for informal correspondence, and telephone conversations. It's later replaced by the very popular bye or goodbye.
