This reminds me of the dude who found a copy of the Declaration of Independence at a garage sale.
Another fellow kept a treasure trove of nearly 1,000 documents in an old medal cabinet in a Swiss laundry room.
A wealthy banker collected letters written by Winston Churchill, Peter the Great, Mahatma Gandhi, Alexander Pushkin and Queen Elizabeth I.
Napoleon wrote to his wife to be Josephine- "I send you three kisses - one on your heart, one on your mouth and one on your eyes."
The letters cover more than 500 years and hit on topics such as art, science, literature and philosophy.
The letters will be auctioned off by Christie's of London on July 3rd.
Meanwhile, wikipedia is getting hits galore about Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound and the above mentioned lot.
How much would you pay for a love letter from Napoleon?
