I recently came across this fantastic website which has kept me fascinated for ages and must be the best website I have seen for a long time. It’s a huge resource of digitised and/or transcribed letters which allows you to read first-hand some of the most relevant and interesting letters, faxes and speeches of our times.

Some examples include correspondence from figures such as Keith Richards, Albert Einstein, Neil Armstrong,  Francis Ford Coppola, John Steinbeck, Gene Wilder, Kurt Vonnegut, Ronald Reagan and Bob Dylan. It’s a brilliant website full of humour and emotion.

I could go on but I won’t. Instead, click the ‘Random Letter’ link and settle down with a very big cup of tea.  Letters of Note
