As a Curie fan, this brightened my day.
einstein sent this to curie in 1911 when she was being harassed by tabloids. it contains everything you’d want in such a letter:

(2) you’re a baller, a true queen
(3) i have determined the statistical law of motion of the diatomic molecule in planck’s radiation field 🧪⚛️
