Elizabeth Allen, her aunt Elisabeth Robert and Mrs. Robert's daughter Georgette Madill all traveled on the Titanic together. Miss Allen's fiance lived in England and they were traveling to help set the wedding plans. ln fact they returned to Europe after the sinking and Miss Allen was married in July 1912. Three letters from Titanic survivors:

ALS from Mrs. E. S. Robert, signed “Tante,” [German for Aunt], one page, both sides, 5.75 x 7, personal letterhead, dated February 29 [1932]. Letter to Clare Haskins reads, in part: “Just a line this busy Monday morning…I am adding your birthday gift which I would like you to use for something for Spring, a hat I would suggest for you…get a new one for yourself.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in Robert’s hand.
Very rare ALS from Elizabeth Allen Mennell to her aunt, Mrs. E. S. Roberts, signed “Elizabeth,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, personal letterhead, April 7, 1936. In part: “We had the election of Directors, made under the new system at the Club yesterday. 27 candidates. 16 Directors to be chosen. I lost by 2 votes so that’s that, which pretty definitely means end of Federation for me too.”
In fine condition, with uniform mild toning to all three letters.
