Reply to comment by DevinB333 in The letters of T. S. Eliot to Emily Hale that were kept sealed from 1956 to 2020 have been released for free online by RunDNA

You have to do/be something/one of such note that would warrant the public to even want to read your letters.

Have you done anything that would reach that threshold?

Or are you just a nobody like the rest of us and this 'scenario' would never be an actual thing?

Edit: Lots of people be thinking they are the main character at life I guess.
