The most ancient love letter was found in Iran, it can be dated back to 2000 AD. In love the young man by name Gimisa asked about appointment girl Dasbuaj. The spelling of this message has demanded extreme patience, and delivery - remarkable force therefore as carved it was on a stone in weight over 16 kgs! One American lady, a member of the Society of assistance by the prisoner, long time on a duty of service corresponded with one of the prisoners lived in prison Sing Sing. In due course between them there was a deep mutual feeling. It was shown rather originally. She writes: "My dear 887924! Let me that I am farther than you named simply 887!" Samuel Johnson, the English scientist of 18 centuries, after a long exchange of love letters with the lady of his choice, has dared to propose to her, at last. He finished the letter so: "I want be absolutely fair that is why should you inform, that a condition at me small, and one of my relatives was hung up". She answers: "your offer I accept with pleasure. My condition too is insignificant. Anybody from my relatives for the present not was hung up, but I think, that not less than ten of them of deserve it"
In 15 century at universities of Europe studied epistolography - a science to write letters. In the help to teachers and students special manuals - collections of samples of letters on different cases of life were made. At the Krakow University so taught to make the correct love letter: the beginning with the refined greeting, then was necessary to eulogize beauty of the addressee with obligatory addition about attractiveness and virtue, further to add a wish that the addressee of the letter was sedate, safe and healthy, and to finish the letter about giving destinies to will Supreme. However then university reform has cancelled this compulsion and, that the most interesting, it has opened road for a change and originality in terms of feelings. Long live freedom! In later editions, for example, in "Manual" of 1822 it is said: "Letters are invented for the message of ideas of the by another. They serve instead of oral conversation, and as though before eyes represent people removed from each other, even on great distance". Rather exact statement. What their recommendations about a spelling?" The written syllable should be not too high, is not forced and not amusing. It should be simple and similar to the ordinary conversation represented on a paper. The more simply, it is more pleasant, the closer to heart. Rhetorical figures are not necessary for it: set of exclamations, references, no less than the long periods necessary sometimes in the other sort of compositions. Though to write simply and freely, thoroughly should know the language to not lose balance and, having risen too highly, not to undergo to falling. The more we take time over the letter the be more imperceptible should be, that we worked.
Skill is to hide art and to approach how many it is possible closer to the Nature: that all seemed natural, freely given vent; that everyone could tell, that it differently to express better is impossible.
