Letter from Captain Edward Smith to his daughter

Future Titanic Captain Edward J. Smith, from RMS Baltic - a unique handwritten letter to his daughter Helen, dated 29 November 1906: My Dear Daughter, I could not catch a little bunny to send you in my letter! I send you a card by this little bird. I hope mother + your + Gladys are well. I shall soon be home (D.V. Your loving Daddy). The use of D.V. as an abbreviation is interesting as it means Deo Volente or God willing. Captain Smith has sketched a bird with an envelope in its beak on the letter. This letter represents a unique insight into Captain Smith as a family man rather than a sea captain. Sold with its original envelope handwritten by Smith and addressed to Miss H.M. Smith. Date: 1906
