“My experience on the ‘Titanic’ was such as no one can realize the experience is often written about in books but very rarely experienced by people. Until I was allowed to get into a boat the suspense was fearful as my wife was in the second boat lowered and they only allowed women in the boats until all were loaded that were around. It was only by luck I walked to the emergency boat which was away from the regular life saving boats. After being afloat for about an hour I saw the boilers explode and the ship go down.

At that moment about 1600 people jumped into the ocean and began to cry for help, this cry which was like a wail I will never forget. After floating about 5 hours we were picked up by the ‘Carpathia’ and of course was relieved when I found my wife.” $400-600 1095 Taft, William (1857-1930) Signed Military Commission, 13 May 1910.

Old folds, light toning, traces of an old mount, affecting one line of text, 7 x 4 1/2 in.

“My silence has in great measure proceeded from a painful sense of the injury that might be inflicted by words rashly spoken in such a case.

I know that to yours or any other generous mind there can scarce be a purer pleasure than to foster lowly genius & to lift it up into the light of the world, & it cannot be denied that in these poems written under such peculiar circumstances, there is proof of remarkable talent & thought. Still, I hold it an unsafe thing to pronounce on the future from such early productions & if my own strong feeling of want of regular necessary occupation may be allowed any weight I would say let every poet seek some such, if it be only mechanical it will be time enough to relinquish it when he has found some great theme that taxes all his time & all his powers.”

Realf emigrated to the United States two years after Tennyson’s letter. He was a journalist in Kansas, collaborated closely with John Brown, served in the Civil war, and ended his own life in 1878. $500-700
