The perfect February read, exploring love more deeply than the cheesy greeting card holiday ever could. And also relevant for Black History Month, with the heartbreaking letter from an escaped slave, Isaac Forman, who had to leave his wife behind as she was enslaved on another farm, along with Mildred Loving's letter to the ACLU asking for help with the predicament her interracial marriage had caused her legally. There are some familiar timeless classics as well, such as Richard Feynman's moving letter to his late wife ("You, dead, are so much better than anyone else alive"). And there are more recent or less well-known letters, such as that of a woman whose journalist partner was killed in Syria in 2012. All in all, it's an excellent collection of just exactly what is promised, letters of note about love.
