Earlier this past week London's famed Christie's auctioneers put a collection of rare letters up for auction. These included missives from some of Britain's major historical figures such as Winston Churchill, Queen Elizabeth I and Oliver Cromwell. While I personally believe that letters such as these belong in a museum for the public to enjoy, and learn from, I do admit that I would love to have anything that at one time belonged to Her Majesty, Elizabeth I or simply her signature.
