So many times have I heard an author say they burned or destroyed letters or earlier writings. But now in this digital life of ours… I wonder what will be “unearthed” by future scholars.

“Emily Hale was an American speech and drama teacher who worked at Simmons, Scripps, and Smith colleges. There was speculation over the exact nature of the relationship between Emily Hale and T.S. Eliot, but the letters revealed an intensely emotional, if chaste, relationship between the two for nearly two decades. He notes the places they visited together, his feelings for her, and how they inspired his work. Sadly, Eliot burned her letters to him, so we will never know her part of this correspondence.”
