The chief officer of the RMS Titanic (born 1872) whose body was never recovered following the liner's sinking on April 15, 1912. ALS signed “Harry,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 3.75 x 6, embossed Royal Naval Barracks letterhead, January 20, 1911. Letter to his sister-in-law Annie Williams, in part: "I was delighted to have your letter at noon today & to know that you are feeling better & I hope that you will soon be stronger, I hope that you will take care of yourself & not commence to knock about to[o] soon. I had a PC from Karol today, I did not know that Ada was staying at Gay Road. I suppose it was better for her to be there while Nurse was with you. I do wish we were nearer so that Nurse could stay with you until you are well again. I am getting on as well as can be expected. Down here we are kept very busy which is perhaps better for me in my personal state of mind for I am dreading the weekend, from noon tomorrow Saturday, until Monday morning it will seem a long time & I feel much better when we are kept busy. I wish I could come to Lockerby Rd. for Sunday. I don't know what I will do down here…I wrote to Mr. Williams, London & I told him if possible I would call on him on my way home, perhaps I can get away from here on the midnight train & arrive in London on the Saturday morning & get to Liverpool in the evening but I won't be able to call unless I can get away from here by the Friday night."
