RMS Titanic - letter to James Moody's sister

RMS Titanic - highly significant and historically important letter to Sixth Officer James Moody's sister. Dated 7 May 1912, its explosive contents deliver news from the White Star Line steamship department that White Star are prepared to transport Officer Moody's body back to England if a sum of £20 is telegraphed to White Star's New York office to cover the cost of bringing Officer Moody home. The importance of this letter cannot be overstated as it was unknown to this point that the White Star Line would charge the family of one of the officers on board the ill-fated liner for the return of their loved one. The irony of this letter is that Officer Moody's body was never recovered, which further illustrates the callous nature of the letter. Date: 1912
