The Famous "Browning Letters"
I found a site today that has scanned the original letters of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, along with her husband, Robert Browning's letters. The couple's love letters are renowned for their depth of feeling, and are well worth taking the time to read (even if you don't read the originals).
Read them at Baylor's site :'The Browning Letters.'
Below is Robert Browning's love letter to Elizabeth Barrett from 1845.
