Letter written by Ida Stanton on board RMS Carpathia
Handwritten letter written on board RMS Carpathia dated 15 August 1912 with original Cunard envelope. Dear Papa and boys... we were delayed by boarding a large cargoe (sic) of spaghetti... This is rather a poor ship. No distinguished people aboard and seemingly no interesting ones. It is a sight to see the emigrants the men without families at one end, 7 they are as thick as the fingers on ones hand - mostly Greeks - they are good natured and sing and play games; some of the people in the rooms below, slept in the parlor (sic) numerous for comfort, and their rooms fearfully hot, but we have a lovely room. Plenty fresh air and no rugs... last night a lady from Kansas and I had a long talk with the Captain. This is his first run since the rescue of the Titanic. He is very simple and modest, and said he found in the dictionary the meaning of Titanic was a race of men vainly trying to overcome nature... tell the boys no pretty girls on and a very dull company. Ida D. Stanton'. Date: 1912
