The intimacy of correspondence
Very limited speech by telephone or telegraph, the main transmitter of news and, above all, of mood s and confidences, was written correspondence, the letters that show us the intimacy of people without the limits that the public exhibition may impose. And although it is subject to strict rules, both rhetorically and formally, it is capable of showing facets that would hardly appear in any other way. From the great characters who confessed to their closest friends, to the outbursts of those who were brimming with confidence, to the heartbreak of those who knew the hour of their end.
