Though many may disagree, I believe Falcoln Scott ought to have burnt the love letters found on his explorer grandfather Robert's body, rather than auctioning them. Though no doubt worth some exorbitant sum and valuable to historians, Mrs Scott meant her words for none other than her husband, and a respectful grandson would have kept it that way. With celebrities admitting all sorts in published diaries it is easy to forget that some people value privacy. Unless the author of such documents was explicit about their desire to publish, I believe their guardians have a moral duty to keep them from the public eye.
What do other people think?
