Sister of artist Francis David Millet. ALS signed “Lucia Millet Baxter,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 6.5, Ledgwood Terrace letterhead, April 28, 1912. Letter to the editor of the New Bedford Mercury just two weeks after the sinking. In full: “As you have been so kindly interested in publishing so much about my brother, Frank D. Millet, I am going to make a request for the sake of his friends in your city. His body has been found and met at Halifax by Laurence Millet, the oldest son, on arriving in Boston it will be cremated by cable request from his widow in England. Later the funeral will be in the Unitarian Church in East Bridgewater. I cannot tell you the day or time yet as we do not know ourselves but the Boston papers will notify you sooner than we could and publishing the date, hour of funeral and best train is the favor I ask. All of his friends are welcome. Thanking you in advance for your courtesy l am yours in great grief.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Francis Davis Millet was an American writer, editor, military surgical assistant, and acclaimed artist who was a fatality of the sinking of the Titanic. He was one of the most famous men to perish in the disaster. His picture was carried on the front page of numerous newspapers after the sinking, and President Taft built a memorial to Millet and his friend Major Archibald Butt (who also died in the sinking) in front of the White House.
