Ernest Hemingway to Mary Welsh
29.5.08

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961). Celebrated American author, awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1954. Hemingway first met the vivacious and intelligent Mary Welsh in May 1944. At that time his marriage to Martha Gellborn was already on skids, then ended when she displayed an insensitive bedside manner while visiting Hemingway in London after a serious automobile accident. He became infatuated with Mary and was reunited with her after the liberation of Paris. Though friends expected their marriage in 1946 to collapse quickly, it endured until July 1961 when Hemingway committed suicide.


It's tough as hell without you and I'm doing it straight but I miss you so [I] could die. If anything happened to you I'd die the way an animal will die in the zoo if something should happen to his mate. Much love dearest and know I'm not impatient. I'm just desperate.

George Herbert Walker Bush to Barbara Pierce Bush
25.5.08

George Herbert Walker Bush (b. 1924). Forty-first president of the United States. The U.S. Navy's youngest pilot during World War II. He married Barbara Pierce while home on leave in January 1945.


I love you, Precious, with all my heart and to know that your love me means my life.
This may sound melodramatic, but if it does it is only my inadequacy to say what I mean. You have made my life full of everything I could ever dream of – my complete happiness should be a token of my love for you.

George Armstrong Custer to Elizabeth Custer
21.5.08

George Armstrong Custer (1839-1876) American General. In 1866 George became a lieutenant colonel of the seventh Calvary, and took part in General Winfield Scott Hancock's expedition against the plains indians. His wife Elizabeth, the daughter of an Ohio judge, was a well-educated, strong-minded woman with an ambitious spirit. Her devotion was legendary, as she followed him throughout his military campaigns, staying in tents, farms, and boarding houses. His feelings towards her were no less devotional -- in 1867, George was court-martialed & suspended for one year without pay for having made an unauthorized visit to his wife at a nearby fort.



While living she is my all, and if destiny wills me to die, wills that my country needs my death, my last prayer will be for her, my last breathe will speak her name and that Heaven will not be Heaven till we are joined together. Yours through time & eternity,

Love is something you can't describe
like the look of a rose,
the smell of rain,
or the feeling of forever.
