Description

This cash receipt was for a telegram sent by carpathia passenger Dr. blackmarr to the Chicago Tribune. Dr. Blackmarr was the first source of information from the Carpathia about the sinking of Titanic. he bribed the wireless operator to get the story in several telegrams to the Chicago Tribune. The Carpathia landed the Titanic Survivors on the night of April 18. This one is dated April 19 but I believe it was actually sent ont he 17th.
