UPDATE--- PLEASE READ COMPLETELY
Frederic Ernest Woodford was employed by WSL, on board Titanic as a greaser, a merchant seaman who lubricates the ships engines.
He was also a devoted husband and a father to two precious daughters.
This letter dated April 11,1912 was written at Queenstown to his wife back in Southampton.
4 days later, Woodford died in the sinking, leaving behind his wife, Susan, and two children, Susan Mary, and Annie Freda.
Only 4 of the 35 greasers on board Titanic survived the sinking.
At Queenstown, Frederick sent a letter to his wife with instructions to pick up his pay from the White Star Line offices in Southampton.
I have been authorized by a family member of the descendents of Frederick Woodford to offer this letter in his honor, and in his memory.
I have not altered, corrected or enhanced the letter in any way, with the exception of making the first page a full 8.5 x 11.
The image is printed directly from the image sent to me by the family member.
My only ask is this-- Please display it respectfully, reverently and keep this man's memory alive.
This is a reprint of that letter, printed on 110 lb acid free archival card stock.
It will look wonderful in your collection.
(Picture Image of Woodford not included but shown for informational purposes-- He was about 28 years old in 1900, in this picture and was a seaman on board the sailing ship Christabel )
I carefully securely, package for a safe delivery.
Your reprintwill be shipped via USPS, with tracking.
