LONDON — A letter written by one of the Titanic’s
passengers a day before the ocean liner sank has
sold for $166,000 at an auction in England.
The handwritten note, on embossed Titanic
stationery, was penned by first-class passenger
Alexander Oskar Holverson on April 13, 1912 — the
day before the ship hit an iceberg and sank in the
North Atlantic, killing more than 1,500 onboard.
Holverson, a salesman, was on the Titanic with his
wife, Mary. He had intended to post it to his mother
when they arrived in New York.
Auction house Henry Aldridge & Son, which
specializes in Titanic memorabilia, said Saturday
the letter was “the most important Titanic letter we
have ever auctioned” because of its content,
historical context and rarity.
In the letter, addressed to “My dear Mother” and
stained with saltwater marks, Holverson described
the Titanic as “a giant in size and fitted up like a
palatial hotel.” He added: “The food and drink is
excellent.”
In a poignant line, he also wrote: “If all goes well
we will arrive in New York Wednesday AM.”
The letter, one of the last known to have been
written on board by the disaster’s victims, was
found in Holverson’s pocket notebook when his
body was recovered. It was later sent to his family.
His wife survived the disaster, Aldridge said.

You can only sell those in countries that they have "chopped belleful", not in Nigeria here or anywhere else in Africa for that matter, where the main thought on most people's minds is how to get the next meal.
