Napoleon wrote that he wanted to send Josephine three kisses; one for her eyes, one for her mouth, and one for her heart.
This letter, along with others written by Winston Churchill, Peter the Great, Mahatma Gandhi, Alexander Pushkin, John Donne and Queen Elizabeth I, was found in a most unusual place in 2005.
Where were the letters found, and why will they be in the news next month?
These letters, found in a filing cabinet in the laundry room of the late Albin Schram of Switzerland, will be auctioned by Christie's on July 3 and are expected to fetch some 2.3 million pounds.
I found this story really interesting. I think it was the idea of all this wonderful correspondence from some incredibly important historical figures, bundled together in a filing cabinet.
