A scribbled note written by a survivor of the Titanic to tell his family he was alive and well has been put up for sale.
The telegram was sent from the rescue ship Carpathia on April 18, 1912 - four days after the liner Titanic sank - to reassure the sender's family.
Scrawled in pencil and yellowed with age, it reads: '(To) William Mansfield, Washington St., Morristown, New Jersey.



'Safe on Carpathia Telephone friends Newark New York, Burns.'
The name 'Carpathia' and the date, April 18, 1912, have been handwritten in pencil on the front and the charges have been handwritten in pencil and red ink on the front of the rare artefact.

The telegram, which measures 9in by 5.5in, is being offered for sale for £2,500 by memorabilia specialists Gotta Have It.

A very treasured document indeed £2,500 is nothing compared to the value of the life saved who could write that.

Considering the history in surprised 5,000usd is all there asking for it using a rough estimate of conversion.

Its sad to think that everything you document now at days is on a computer.
