A letter billed as one of the most important items of ephemera from the Titanic to be offered at auction will go under the hammer at Henry Aldridge & Son on October 21 in Devizes, Wiltshire.
The letter, which is estimated at £60,000-80,000, was handwritten on oversized, embossed on-board Titanic stationery by businessman and ‘first-class’ victim Alexander Oskar Holverson. Intended for his mother, it was written a day before the ship hit the iceberg on April 13, 1912.
