intimate letters
Private written exchanges
Intimate letters are personal correspondence between people who share a close relationship—romantic partners, dear friends, or family members.
The phrase suggests private, emotionally revealing content not meant for others' eyes: Scholars gained new insight into the composer's life from his intimate letters to his wife.
Such letters often become valuable historical documents, though publishing them may raise ethical questions about privacy.
