TLS signed “Harold A. Sanderson,” one page, 8 x 10, White Star Line letterhead, April 17, 1912. Letter to Sir John Gray Hill of the Liverpool & London Steamship Protection Association. In full: “Your letter of the 16th instant conveying the resolution passed by the Committee of the Liverpool and London Steamship Protection Association at their last meeting is duly to hand. It is very comforting to us to know in this time of trial that the sympathies of our associates are so actively with us, and we beg you will express them the thanks of all connected with the Line for their graceful act in passing the Resolution in question.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature. The Liverpool and London Steamship Protection Association was one of the Titanic’s insurers, and chaired by Bruce Ismay. One day earlier, at the committee meeting held in Liverpool, the meeting unanimously adopted a resolution which stated ‘The Committee of the Liverpool & London Steamship Protection Association desired to express to the Oceanic S. N. Co. and to Messrs Ismay Imrie & Co. their very sincere sympathy in the loss of the ‘Titanic’ and to place on record the feeling of deep relief with which they have heard the safety of the Chairman.’ Sanderson would go on to succeed Bruce Ismay as President of the International Mercantile Marine Company the following year.
