About Love Letters

Hi romantic love letter friends

I don’t know about you but I have been a lover of romantic love letters since I was a very young girl.

Don’t tell anyone but I accidently found a stack of love letters wrapped up in a ribbon.  What girl of nine years old could have resisted opening those love letters if only to see why they were wrapped in such a lovely red ribbon?

Would you have been able to resist?  

They had been written by one of my relatives (I don’t wish to embarass him too much in public so I will not give away any more clues) to his wife (although at the time of writing those letters she was still his girl-friend).

I read them all in secret dozens of times before I was finally caught.  I think I had given the game away when I had innocently asked the meaning of some of the terms used in them which caused them to watch me more carefully.

Whilst they were not what would be called explicit nowadays at the time those letters of love were written they would have been described as very suggestive of things to come after they were married.  By that, I mean he wrote about how much he would like to have that loving experience of being able to lie next to her all night with her wrapped up safely in his loving arms.  That is as far as things were written in polite society in those days!

Later when I grew older I have received a number of very romantic love letters myself but have kept most of them safely hidden away.  I did not want others to find them in the way I found the other love letters all those years ago. Even after all these years these love letters mean so much to me — in fact in many ways they mean more to me now than they did then. I think, apart from the good feelings, they bring back some lovely memories and thoughts of good times we spent together.

I am now trying to contact some of the people who wrote me those love letters to ask permission to publish them even if I have to anonomize them to protect their reputation — I know two of them have since married other people and I do not want their wives to be embarrassed in any way.

If you have any romantic love letters that you think are great please submit them to me and I will add them to this website. However if they written by other people to you please get their permission if I am to use real names.  If you can’t get permission please take out any personal information that would identify them to others.  To submit them please complete the form below or email  them to me as normal   carol at love letters central dot com . (You will need of course need to remove all the spaces and use the @ symbol in the actual email address but I can’t use that here without making myself vunerable for lots of unwanted spam emails.

Hope to hear from you all very soon.

Lots of love

Carol

PS   Yes I still do receive love letters today but they are all from my husband and I have been married to him for several years (and I write back to him despite the fact we see each other every day)  I think it is those little things that keep a marriage relationship alive and burning bright, don’t you?
