Vera Morrison's BBC Newsline interview

[wdeasun]

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place (maybe passenger research may have been better?), but I'm looking for the BBC Newsline interview Helen Harland's youngest surviving daughter did on her mother and Thomas Andrews's relationship. I haven't been able to find it anywhere, but here's the accompanying BBC article from 2012.

You mean this one?



Enjoy, wdeasum.

Here you go:

Friday, 25th of March 1905

My Dear Nellie,


I cannot tell you how much it grieves me to feel that I frightened you or gave you any annoyance last night.


Had I for one moment thought that we did not understand each other all these years since we first meet and that you did not love me, as I felt sure, and was lead to believe you did both your and my friend and relations, I would never have placed you in such an awkward position as I did.


I hope you’ll accept my proposed as it would have been awful to have been refused by the one I love so much. If you only want my friendship never do reply to this letter. Would justify me in you to be my wife is my ideal dream. You acted wisely when you had any doubt. I am alone to blame for the position you are in.


God Bless you dear and don’t do anything that you think your Mother, sister + brothers, would not approve of, otherwise I could never look them straight in the face again.



Your ever affectionate and loving friend,


Thomas Andrews Jnr.

Thank you very much, Thomas.
