“Every day and every night I want to see you and be with you. Yet I have no feeling of selfish ownership or jealousy. Let's go for a long ride Sunday; let's go to the mountains weekends; let's read books in front of fires; most of all, let's really grow together and find the happiness we know is ours.”
—Richard Nixon • Writing in a 1938 love letter to his then-girlfriend, Patricia Ryan.
We hope that our love letters become public record 18 years after
we die.
