1: FROM LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN TO AN UNIDENTIFIED "IMMORTAL BELOVED" (1812)

6 July, morning

My angel, my all, my own self — only a few words today, and that too with pencil (with yours) — only till tomorrow is my lodging definitely fixed. What abominable waste of time in such things — why this deep grief, where necessity speaks?

Can our love persist otherwise than through sacrifices, than by not demanding everything? Canst thou change it, that thou are not entirely mine, I not entirely thine? Oh, God, look into beautiful Nature and compose your mind to the inevitable. Love demands everything and is quite right, so it is for me with you, for you with me — only you forget so easily, that I must live for you and for me — were we quite united, you would notice this painful feeling as little as I should…

…We shall probably soon meet, even today I cannot communicate my remarks to you, which during these days I made about my life — were our hearts close together, I should probably not make any such remarks. My bosom is full, to tell you much — there are moments when I find that speech is nothing at all. Brighten up — remain my true and only treasure, my all, as I to you. The rest the gods must send, what must be for us and shall.

Your faithful

Ludwig

Ever thine.

Ever mine.

Ever ours.

2: FROM FRIDA KAHLO TO HER HUSBAND DIEGO RIVERA

Diego, my love,

Remember that once you finish the fresco we will be together forever once and for all, without arguments or anything, only to love one another.

Behave yourself and do everything that Emmy Lou tells you.

I adore you more than ever. Your girl, Frida

(Write me)

3. FROM PRESIDENT GERALD FORD (AND HIS CHILDREN) TO HIS WIFE BETTY FORD SHORTLY AFTER SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER (1974)

Dearest Mom

No written words can adequately express our deep, deep love. We know how great you are and we, the children and Dad, will try to be as strong as you.

Our Faith in you and God will sustain us. Our total love for you is everlasting.

We will be at your side with our love for a wonderful Mom.

little girl…..

happiness is within you….so unlock the chains from your heart and let yourself grow—

6. FROM JOHNNY CASH TO HIS WIFE JUNE

Hey June,

That’s really nice June. You’ve got a way with words and a way with me as well.

The fire and excitement may be gone now that we don’t go out there and sing them anymore, but the ring of fire still burns around you and I, keeping our love hotter than a pepper sprout.

Love John

Some of these letters are precious and heartwarming, while others are practically indecipherable (we’re talking about you King Henry VIII!). We wish you a merry Valentine’s Day. Be it your husband, your mother or your friend, hopefully you can spend time with your loved ones. Have a great day. We’ll see you next week!

With love from all of us,
