My Dear Elyse, I thought about what you said about having a tradition for our anniversary, and I have an idea I’d really like to do. I’m going to keep it a surprise for our actual anniversary day, ok? Since it doesn’t involve a date, per se, I’d really like to take you to dinner on Saturday, at the Glen Gardner Inn. Would you be so generous as to accompany me? Forever your loving husband, Jim

My dearest beloved, I apologize for the delayed response to your previous letter, the severity of this war is larger than any of us could have predicted. I am cold, hungry and quite frankly, scared for my life. I don’t mean to upset you my darling, the only thing that has kept me going thus far is the memories of you that I cherish more than you will ever know. From the softness of your hands, the warmth of your embraces and the love in your heart, not a moment has passed where you have slipped my mind even for a second. Unfortunately my love, I am unsure of the next available moment where we may speak again, but for now, just remember the strength you have provided me to keep on going. I love you more than words will ever be able to describe my dear. Love always and forever, John.

Chère Paquita, je n'essaierai pas de vous peindre, par des paroles, la passion que vous m'avez inspirée. Si, pour mon bonheur, vous la partagez, sachez que j'ai trouvé les moyens de correspondre avec vous. Je me nomme Adolphe de Gouges, et demeure rue de l'Université, no 54. Si vous êtes trop surveillée pour m'écrire, si vous n'avez ni papier ni plumes, je le saurai par votre silence. Donc, si demain, de huit heures du matin à dix heures du soir, vous n'avez pas jeté de lettre par-dessus le mur de votre jardin dans celui du baron de Nucingen, où l'on attendra pendant toute la journée, un homme qui m'est entièrement dévoué vous glissera par-dessus le mur au bout d'une corde deux flacons, à dix heures du matin, le lendemain. Soyez à vous promener vers ce moment-là, l'un des deux flacons contiendra de l'opium pour endormir votre Argus, il suffira de lui en donner six gouttes. L'autre contiendra de l'encre. Le flacon à l'encre est taillé, l'autre est uni. Tous deux sont assez plats pour que vous puissiez les cacher dans votre corset. Tout ce que j'ai fait déjà pour pouvoir correspondre avec vous doit vous dire combien je vous aime. Si vous en doutiez, je vous avoue que, pour obtenir un rendez-vous d'une heure, je donnerais ma vie.

Give them all of my dear love and a kiss. Tell them I think of them by day, pray for them by night, and find my best comfort in their affection at all times. A year seems very long to wait before I see them, but remind them that while we wait we may all work, so that these hard days need not be wasted. I know they will remember all I said to them, that they will be loving children to you, will do their duty faithfully, fight their bosom enemies bravely, and conquer themselves so beautifully that when I come back to them I may be fonder and prouder than ever of my little women. All my love, Father

RAC1 fa 15 anys, i des d'amicsrac1 hem volgut col·laborar amb l'esdeveniment posant a disposició del públic la nostra fonoteca, amb talls de so de la programació de RAC1 dels anys 2001-2010. La fonoteca es mostra tal i com estava en el moment que vam enretirar-nos de l'escena pública, d'això fa ja uns anys, d'aquí el seu nom "Vintage". No s'ha optimitzat ni la cerca, ni el disseny, ni el programari. Si en feu un ús intensiu és probable que caigui el servidor i haureu d'esperar a que es torni a aixecar..i pobret ja és una mica vell i ves a saber quan ho podrà fer. Tracteu-lo amb "carinyo". Entre els més de 18000 talls de so hi ha autèntiques perles. Només cal tenir paciència i saber buscar una mica. Que la disfruteu!

a somnambular existence, and I lie to myself pretending to fake a smile and think that by tomorrow everything will be fine. I still hope it will… With Tom, there is no way to go wrong. He is my true love, my true destiny and all I can ever think about from now on. Gatsby was only a delusion which resulted of my blindness to see that the dreams I had were nothing more than dreams; imperfect and impossible in reality. A fantasy whose funeral occurred when I wasn´t even able to be present. I hope to see you sometime in the near future,

still have the same beautifully cherished place I used to have in your heart, and that all the memories and ethereal moments we shared are still intact in my mind patiently waiting to someday find a chance to be revived with the aid of your precious company. Looking back I repent so much about leaving; the fantasies I had, the love I waited so long to revive, the opportunity of leaving the man I so dumbly married, and wishing to run away from this shallowness that surrounded me. Everything was gone. However, I am now aware that even with all the strength of my heart I couldn´t have returned, because after all, Gatsby´s illusion was merely that, a hiraeth that invaded what little mind I had. Women still have no choice, or well, no better choice than being fools. And at least in this aspect I can admit being smart enough to be the best one I could possibly be. Marrying Tom will always be my most foolish decision, and hence one that could be better in no way possible. With him I have everything I need; company, a wealthy life, tranquility of

Dear Nick: I am so sorry I left without any warning my lovely cousin. Especially because I am completely aware that if there is someone I deserve to give an explanation to, that, is you. I am convinced too that by now, we both know extremely well the truth behind all the unfortunate events that occurred, and my first desire is to begin by saying that it was extremely necessary for me to run away, as all this chaos was overwhelming and exhausting me; I wasn´t myself anymore. I couldn´t wait any longer. And so, I had to leave, no time for good-byes or over-thinking, no time for regrets. You must know too, that I´m proud of myself, as I finally gathered the strength necessary to write this letter and apologize for leaving you behind. I did wanted to contact you, and I haven´t forgotten you. I just lacked the strength, and in present times when I realize I do have it within, it´s my best interest to communicate that I hope to 

Dear Diary, My confrontation with Montag has yielded the desired effect. I feel that I have set him on a byway to self-doubt and bothersome discontent with his knowledge of the halcyon days of literature. It is now clear to me that he has indeed omitted my admonition in regard to his tenure of those paperbacks he embezzled from the women who flouted our book possession legislatures. That makes him ripe to be the next beacon of hope in this abhorrent world we live in. I cannot bare with the burden any longer. I have done my best to obscure my true nature from society, but THEY are surrounding me, shadowing my every move, my detention for my crimes is impend. I hold true that if I tell him candidly, he probably be startled and would denounce me. If I were to be erroneous of his true character, I would be evoked as a nitwit, and most likely be executed. I must indirectly make him realize what his true calling is, to pass down my commission. I was once in his situation, where I had to conclude whether or not I would bequeath posterity with the knowledge of literature. One day I was having the morning meal when a meager and decrepit man stumbled upon my reserved eating section of the venue. He had slithered a small square strip of perfectly plucked paper with exceptionally astonishing calligraphy into the small opening in my uniform´s overcoat that depicted, “You can read? Why do you not read something more significant than this note, perhaps a book?” I was bewildered by this note, but I did not react, nor did I have the eagerness to surrender him to the authorities, I simply pondered on what he was implying. Subsequent to that encounter I found the old timer once more in the town park, he seemed to be nourishing the pigeons, which to this day I regard an eerie action. We did not speak, we studied each other from afar, his eyes pierced right through me, and mine through him, he glanced at my fireman uniform and then back at my face. He reached into his overcoat and slightly pulled out what seemed to be a book. How could a man dare, to upon a fireman pull out a book from his mantel? He must have speculated that I was different from the rest, but what had he seen in me? He must have noticed my lack of response at the eating venue earlier that month, he must have assumed that I was intrigued by his cryptic offer. But moments after, he was restrained by the authorities and was executed that very eve. I felt it was my duty to pass on the wonders of literature that he had implied me to embrace. So I studied them, and hid them from those who would not understand them. I was too apprehensive and afraid to tell anyone, so I kept it to myself and continued my routine life. Montag must be able to envisage his own purpose, not be guided by any external factors that would befuddle his true intentions, just like I was all those years ago. Only by escorting him to the residence of his infraction will it be possible for him to recognize his true mission to society. We are arriving to the dwelling of infraction, I now realize what I am compelled to do in order to make him comprehend. I got it.

Dear Mum and Dad, My friends have been shot and injured. I have been sleeping beside dead bodies. Rats have been eating all my food. I miss you. I do not like it here in the trenches. Lots of troops have died in the war. An explosion has killed our troops, destroyed tanks, and shot our allies. Love, Officer Ryan

Panno Mario Luizo Babkiewicz, Z ogromna przyjemnoscia pragne zaprosic Panne na uczte, która ucelebrujemy poczatek wiosny. Uczta odbedzie sie w ogrodach kamienicy przy ulicy Batorego 8a, w jakze to piekny i obdarzonym bogata historia miescie Kraków. Podczas przyjecia obowiazywac bedzie strój galowo-piknikowy, mile widzane beda wszelkie wiosenne akcenty. Najznamiennici kucharze przygotuja dla gosci miesiwo pieczone na zywym ogniu oraz lekkie jarskie przekaski. Jestem gleboko przekonany, ze delikatne i przyzwyczajone do wykwintnych podraw podniebieni panienki docenie podane jadlo, które bedzie uczta zarówno dla zoladka jak i umyslu. Pragne podkreslic, ze swietowanie poczatku wiosny bedzie mozliwe i wylacznie i bez rzadnych wyjatków tylko w towarzystwie Panienki, która swym usmiechem zacmi slonce i zapewni piekna pogode. Z wyrazami szacunku, Bartlomiej Marek Bartnicki

Dearest Mother, I'm having the most wonderful time here in Boston. My school is amazing and I have learned so much. Sincerely, Martin Mcwalk

April 14, 1813 Dear Mother, Life in this new land is quite different than back home. It is warmer and the land has amazing views, views you would never see in the homeland. The other side of this greatness is that we work all week. I see the rest of the family very rarely throughout the week. Even though I get good pay I still miss the life we had back in France. I am not sure if you have them back home but here in the new land we had an inventor create an engine. A machine that does work without use of weather or living energy. At first we used it to get water out of our mines although now we use them in factories to make goods such was housing materials or survival necessities. These machines run on coal which we dig up from the ground. There are rumors going around at the factory that this is the revolution of society, that our factories are the industry and one day we will rely on them for almost everything. Although no one can tell the future. Sister is working in a clothing factory, she stitches the letters and patches on all the clothes after the machines make the basics of clothing. She thinks that with all the new non machinery that maybe they won't even have to cook. But that would be impossible. You won't believe this though, the engines that are being made can be used to move things. We can transport things across the country without using man power or animal or weather. The engines turn a wheel that pushes trains. In the past month we have been putting our produce on the trains and selling them to places across the country. It is much quicker and efficient, the trains are even used to send mail so that letters are sent faster. Although it’s not used just in the New Land, the engines are also used to power ships by turning a fan called propeller which pushes the water backward and the ship forward. So now we will have better communications with the homeland and maybe any other places around the world. I wish to see you again once my work is done Mother. The things that are happening here are incredible with the new engines and developments. More and more man work is being reduced. We can just go to a store and buy food or clothes without making them ourselves. Always a pleasure to fill you in on what’s happening here, hope to hear back from you soon Mother. I wish the best for you and may the future of our society be the best it can. Love, your son, Victor

To Sir Mersain Airgail In response to your recent findings we thank you most graciously. With this newly found information you've given us the opportunity to make a huge advancement in our endeavors to halt the Baron's plan. Attached you will find a small gift of thanks. Signed The Order

“Dear Elliot, Thank you ever so-much for your letter, I would love to have you in my cellar! We play games, watch movies, and go fire camping in the middle of the woods! “And yes, Booby does live in my cellar; he is a good friend of mine! “Come to my house at (The police cut out this address), 'Caledon', 'Ontario', 'CA'. “I look very forward to having fun with you! Love, Mr. Bear”

To my dearest Mia, By the time you read this I will probably be dead. I have discovered The Baron's true secret and thus he has noticed my investigation. Take this letter to Lord Saval and remember that it is vital you deliver it to him directly! Know that I will always love you. Signed Sir Marsain Airgail, your father.

January 5, 1942 Dear Husband, You have not been gone long but many changes have occurred. for one now that women are being drafted onto the workforce many have taken it upon themselves to be more liberal. You have the flappers which are a group of young women who like to dance and sing and dress quite scantly clad. They even wear makeup and their hair is cut shorter. It is a new era that is for sure!

August 20, 1945 Dear Husband, United States has dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They say that the two bombings, killed at least 129,000 people. Many say that it is a good thing that the government did that but it killed millions of innocent civilians. This obviously shows that the United States is a superior nation with superior weaponry but at what cost? I do hope that you are well and that at least the deaths of all of those people serves a purpose in ending the war.

November 28, 1773 Dear Thomas Gage: I would like for you to be the governor of Massachusetts. Some of the reasons why are you are really good at would be talking to large amounts of people. Another reason is that is that you were a military commander in the early days. One benefit you would have is to get more money for being a governor. The people would not hate you because they would look up to him. I would like to have you as the governor so that you could get a lot of money and people will look up to you. Sincerely your king, King George 111

Querida Maylincita, A friendship like ours comes only once in a lifetime. Our minds connected over a desire to give back to our communities through counseling. Our hearts connected over our shared cultural pride and sense that even in our little bubbles, we could relate to those who are marginalized. I followed you outside the classroom, into your world, and enjoyed it so much that I moved right next door! Through loss and major life transitions, you let me in, opened your heart, and kept mine safe. We took giant leaps, in some cases 3000 mile ones, and kept each other sane through our homesickness. As I prepare to head back home, after six long years, I am so happy to leave you in good hands. I can never express the amount of appreciation and love that I feel for you, especially in the last years as you have been my biggest cheerleader through my education pursuits. I cannot imagine being away from you, but I leave knowing that our friendship will follow us wherever we go. I wish you the very best in your marriage. I am honored to call you mi amiga. Cheers, congratulations, best wishes, felicidades, y buena suerte amiga! Con todo el amor del mundo, Tu amiga para siempre, Ellicita

March 11, 1780 Dear Diary, Day 3. Today is Wednesday, and it is a beautiful day. At school, we went outside to play, and the flowers were blooming and the grass was green. My mom and dad are working at the market again. After we got that money, my parents were not arguing as much. We have enough money to bring my brothers home for two weeks. Then we paid for our debt, and we lived like we were in a dream. My birthday is in two weeks, and I will be turning 15. Today I went fishing for dinner and caught six bass and three catfish. We cooked it on the fire and I loved it. My dad just got a new job. He now works at the mines. My mom is still working at the market, and my dad gets $23 every day four times a week. My brothers have three more months until they leave the army.
