His Holiness: The Secret Papers of Benedict XVI (Italian: Sua Santità. Le carte segrete di Benedetto XVI) is a book published by the Italian journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi of confidential letters and memos between Pope Benedict XVI and his personal secretary. The letters in the book portray the Vatican as a corrupt hotbed of jealousy, intrigue and underhanded factional fighting.
Nuzzi's book reveals details about the Pope's personal finances and includes tales of bribes made to procure an audience with him.[1] It reproduces confidential letters and memos to and from Benedict and his personal secretary and contains letters from a very senior Vatican administrator to Pope Benedict begging not to be transferred for having exposed alleged corruption that cost the Holy See millions of euros in higher contract prices.[2] The documents also cover a 2009 scandal concerning the ex-editor of the newspaper of the Italian bishops' conference, a dinner between Benedict and Italy's president, and a 2011 letter from an Italian talk show host to the pope enclosing a cheque for 10,000 euros for his charity work and asking for a private audience in exchange.
Secret Letters
In modern-day China, two women strive to preserve Nushu, an ancient secret language that bonded generations of Chinese women together through centuries of oppression in a clandestine support system of sisterhood and survival.
Women in China were historically forced into oppressive marriages and forbidden to read or write by their households for thousands of years. To cope, they developed and shared a secret language among themselves called Nushu. Written in poems or songs with bamboo pens on paper-folded fans and handkerchiefs, these hidden letters bonded generations of Chinese women in a clandestine support system of sisterhood, hope, and survival.

Throughout the game the player may pick up puzzle pieces that have a letter upon them. These letters form a simple word puzzle where the player has to figure out what all the letters put together mean. The puzzle may be accessed during a game by pressing ESC then selecting Puzzle, provided the player has at least one piece in their possession. Completing the puzzle gives access to the secret ending in Resolution by using the computer in that level.
When solving the puzzle, letters that have been left in the right location for a few seconds will turn blue and get locked into the location. Using this feature, one could complete the puzzle by simply trying out each piece in each location and waiting for the blue confirmation. Once all the letters are in the right locations, the puzzle will constantly flash to indicate completion. The puzzle screen shows empty grey boxes to indicate where letters should be placed and grey bars between the boxes to indicate what sets of letters form a word.

It was a secret script created and shared by Chinese women that men could not understand. Hidden Letters sheds light on the patriarchal expectations of women in modern China and serves as a reminder that women have a lot to learn from our ancestors.
The film shows stressful and uncomfortable scenes of women performing Nüshu songs to rooms full of confused men, of men criticizing the way women write Nüshu, and of men talking about the products they are selling with Nüshu scripts engraved on them. It juxtaposes these scenes with the tranquil, intimate moments shared between women using Nüshu to build connection through storytelling the way their ancestors did. While the documentary focuses on the power of women finding community through Nüshu, it also raises the question of what has been lost now that Nüshu is no longer a secret.
Seventy years after their marriage, a series of letters emerged that gave an insight into what Wallis was going through in the weeks preceding her marriage and the first few years of her marriage to Edward.
As she was researching her biography of Wallis Simpson, That Woman: the life of Wallis Simpson, historian Anne Sebba discovered an intriguing collection of 15 letters written by the socialite to her former husband, Ernest.
What the letters reveal is a rush of affection between the divorced couple. It was a relationship that had previously been left out of the official biographies and historical documentaries about Wallis.
Sebba has claimed the letters came from an "unnamed source" who had held onto them for decades. But others believe the letters had been deliberately concealed so that no further damage could have been done to Edward's reputation.
Whatever the reason the person had for holding onto the letters, Sebba couldn't believe what she was seeing: written in Wallis's distinctive large, round handwriting, Sebba felt as though she was holding dynamite.
Sebba, who has read all 15 letters, believes they reveal that, perhaps, the marriage was once heralded the "most romantic love story of the last century" was even more complex than we might have imagined.
In a December 2019 conversation, Trump was cautious about showing Woodward the letters he wrote to the North Korean leader. A month later, when Woodward again asked Trump if he could see the letters, Trump said the letters were "so top secret," per The Washington Post's reporting of Woodward's notes from the call.
Woodward viewed the Kim letters at a later date, and dictated their contents into a voice recorder, per an audio clip aired on CNN on Tuesday. In the clip, Trump can be heard telling Woodward to refrain from publicizing that it was Trump himself who had shown the letters to him.
The National Archives and Records Administration, or NARA, removed 15 boxes of documents from Mar-a-Lago in January. The Kim letters were among the documents. Some of the other files had classification markings on them, which raised alarm bells at NARA about how much protected material Trump took with him to his Florida residence.
Blair wrote these words to Bush in a letter marked as \"secret\" and \"personal\" on July 28, 2002 -- about eight months before the invasion of Iraq. In the letter, Blair set out a plan to convince the U.K. that an invasion was necessary.
In a letter sent to Bush on Dec. 4, 2001, and marked \"top secret - personal UK/US eyes only,\" Blair laid out a plan for convincing the international community that a regime change in Iraq was necessary. Under the bullet point \"Softening up first,\" Blair wrote: \"We draw attention to Saddam's breach of UN resolutions, we say regime change is 'desirable' (though not setting it as a military objective)... we let it be clearly seen that nothing is ruled out. But our time frame is deliberately vague.\" He added that this strategy would be very difficult. \"We need to be very precise to avoid getting drawn into threats we are not ready to implement. But we would be unsettling Saddam; possibly forcing concession out of him...and giving ourselves room for maneuver,\" he wrote. 2ff7e9595c
