A personal letter is a type of letter which provides communication between a small number of people, usually two. There are many types of personal letters and they are written for a wide variety of reasons:

  • One person wishes to attain information from an individual or a business.
  • One person wishes to tell somebody about themselves, as in pen pals.
  • One person wishes to present to an individual or a business a social note, such as a thank-you or a congratulation.

Surviving personal letters are often an important source of information about the lives of historical figures.
