Description

"The whole royal family did not get in on the prayers - just George and the Pres of the U.S."

Passenger letter written aboard the RMS Olympic, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, White Star Line (On Board S.S. ‘Olympic’) letterhead, no date (collector’s notation dates the year to 1930). The handwritten letter, in part: “Nell gave a family dinner the night we sailed. Clams ravioli (delicious) elaborate French desserts et al. It had no bad effect but Ellen was not up to normal Sunday all are well now. All the little elevator boys & boots made the choir at dinner service. The chaplain acted as if he were frightened to death. The whole royal family did not get in on the prayers - just George and the Pres. of the U.S.” In fine condition.
