Recently I wrote here about a beautiful and poignant love letter from 19th c. poet John Keats to his sweetheart Fanny Brawne. The letter had been sold at auction for an astonishing £96,000, and many of you wondered both the identity of the buyer and the future of the letter, concerned that it would disappear into the library of a private collector.
Fear not! The letter was purchased by the City of London corporation, which manages Keats' home in north London as a museum. The letter will go on display there as part of their permanent display - a most fitting destination. Read here for more.
