Letter from William Pett Ridge to Cale Young Rice
Letter from William Ridge
Manuscripts MSS 47, III, 1, 18, #3, p2
Item/Collection Note: English novelist William Pett Ridge on March 12, 1912, writes Cale
Young Rice, Louisville, Kentucky, thanking Rice for the copy of his poems that he sent. Ridge also comments about the recent ship disaster.

"Hodden Williams has a capital sketch in The British Weekly of old Captain Smith who went down with the Titanic. About 300,000 £ has been collected here for the widows and orphans. I do not remember any occurrence in my time, that has made the public mind shiver, to the same extent."
