ALS by the mother of Titanic victim Daniel Keane, signed “Honoria Keane,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 4 x 6, December 28, 1915. Letter to "The Manager, White Star Line, Liverpool," in full: "I have seen in the Irish Independent a few days ago, that your Company are now about to settle up all claims in connection with the sinking of the 'Titanic.' I beg therefore to put my case again before you in the hope that you will do something to compensate me for the loss of my son Daniel. I daresay you have all the particulars of my case, but if there is any information you want I shall be pleased to give it to you. I am a poor woman depending on the old age pension to support me, so I rely on you to give my case your kind consideration." In fine condition. Daniel Keane boarded the Titanic at Queenstown and was one of just seven Irish passengers traveling in second-class. He was bound for St. Louis and expected to return to Ireland after an extended stay in the United States, but perished in the disaster; his body, if recovered, was never identified.
