Letters are frequently used in humanities study as an alteration, a curiosity, a record, or a source of data about a situation or event. They are one of the most complete collections of data on women's voices in literature, politics, and science, and they may include autobiographical and historical information. When there were limited options for long-distance communication, letters were utilised widely, and they are still used today. Despite the fact that private letters are private records, they are public papers that shed light on human relationships not only in the past, but also in the present and future. Letters may be used in a variety of subjects and disciplines, and they provide a number of interdisciplinary study options. Bergson's concept of knowing includes a wide range of concepts. As well as intuitive knowledge, there are temporal multiplicities. Organic reading is a way of reading books and using them dynamically and empathically. As a result, the past, present, and future are juxtaposed rather than in chronological order. Lord Byron to his editor, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu to her previous spouse, and Emily Dickson to her teacher are the three writers whose letters are presented and analysed to highlight the above. The challenges of relating to a publisher, an ex-husband, and a tutor are shown to use Bergson's conceptions of time and intuition to show how intimacy may play a significant part in building relationships across time and location in these masters of literature. The habit of writing and reading letters, as well as the use of letters in research. Reading prior letters and using letters from the past are both quite beneficial. Personal letters can not only help to shape historical narratives, but they can also teach us about ourselves by emphasising compassion and empathy.
