I so enjoy these letters. The one by Virginia Woolf really made me chuckle today as I am 70 and she sounded disgusted by the "old 71 year old." A few years ago I found a box of letters written to my dad during WWII by his siblings and mother...maybe even a few from his father. The letters are full of brown stains from a fire in their attic (started by a neighbor's disposing of a cigarette into their leaf filled gutter). The letters are more than amusing. You are inspiring me to write them out for sharing.
Thank you. Your timing is perfect. I opened my mail, found Fyodor's new plan waiting for me, and have immediately adopted it as the only rational response to life today.
I’m always fascinated by the writings of Jane Austen and Virginia Wolf, so to see their personal letters is quite a treat. I’m also impressed with Jane Manfield’s view toward life. And a bit surprised!

Thank you - the joy of reading the excerpts made my day.
Poor Tchaikovsky. I love the simple bliss in Van Gogh's letter. A rare happiness for him, I'm sure.
The one from Virginia Woolf is one of the nastiest hateful things I've seen in some time.
The one by Van Gogh, sublime.
