White Star Line, Titanic lettercard written on board
White Star Line, RMS Titanic - Second Class passenger and victim Henry James Beauchamp, rare Titanic lettercard (address side with stamp) written on board and posted with original one penny stamp and crisp Queenstown postmark. The card reads: Dear Mr Streeton, my letter will no doubt give rise alarm, but my hasty departure from London I trust will not be so to you. I will write to you from New York and detail you matters concerning myself. I am going to Toronto to a berth and I trust my new venture will clean the past which I've created by my own folly. My wife is in England. Do not write to her. The parting has been bitter but she has submitted to this for our future welfare. I shall pen you my desires and intentions in the week and post at New York. Do not refer to my wife my letter to you in the chance of you meeting her, yours still faithfully H. Beauchamp'. Mr Beauchamp died in the sinking. His body, if recovered, was never formally identified but it has been suggested that his body was the 194th recovered by the Mackay-Bennett due to its wearing a gold ring initialled HB
