LOVE LETTER EXAMPLE 1 (abridged)

Paris, December 1795

I wake up filled with thoughts of you. Your portrait and the intoxicating evening which we spent yesterday have left my senses in chaosl. Sweet, incomparable Josephine, what a strange effect you have on my heart! Are you angry? Do I see you looking sad? Are you worried?... My soul aches with sorrow, and there can be no rest for you lover[...] I draw from your lips, from your heart a love which consumes me with fire. [...]

You are leaving at noon; I shall see you in three hours.

Until then, mio dolce amor, a thousand kisses; but give me none in return, for they set my blood on fire.


Your loving husband,

N. Bonaparte

LOVE LETTER EXAMPLE2

Spring 1797
To Josephine,
I love you no longer; on the contrary, I detest you. You are [...] truly perverse, truly stupid, a real Cinderella. You never write to me at all, you do not love your husband; you know the pleasure that your letters give him [...]! What then do you do all day, Madame? What business is so vital that it robs you of the time to write to your faithful lover?[...] Who can this wonderful new lover be who takes up your every moment, rules your days and prevents you from devoting me your attention?
Your indignant husband,
N. Bonaparte

Writing

Hi Maria ,

I'm writing this e-mail from Ecuator .I think of this country is really beatiful and big , the weather depends on the place .In the coast it is always hot and in the mountains it is hot and some days cold.We have been walking around city centre and we've been looking the shops.

We've just arrived here in Quito. In the last few days we've travelled by bus to go to the centre. We've seen monuments and eat exotic fruits and excelent food .We've had some nice experiences.

Tonight we're staying in a big city by coast. Tomorrow we're going to the beach and travelling by train to go up to the line that marks half world.

A lot of kisses for you ,Maria ,I'll write again soon
