After purchasing the chateau and when all the urgent tasks (insurance, taxes, etc.) were completed, the next thing I did was starting to collect information about the history of the place and its the former owners. Architects wrote inquiries to historical archives and I did to antique shops and second-hand bookseller’s.
And here are my first wonderful findings!
1913 
“My darling Ludvick, I’ve lost track of time, today is Friday, right? Are you angry with me? What happened? Or you are sick and no one told me about that? Tell me what the reason for your silence so I can do something about it. With love, Vlasta” 7/XVII/ 1913
” Dear Jindrich, thank you for forgiving me for not coming to the meeting on the 8th. It’s always hard for me to travel unexpectedly. Please find out the results of the meeting and write me about them by Wednesday morning . We have a terrible heat now, the roads are so tiring, even by car it is still quite a long trip and we are not the best drivers. Hugs and kisses to all of you! Yours, Karel. 6.6.1937 “
“My dear Manichka, thank you for the letter. I am sending you this card with our former estate on it, we often spend time there, going for a walk and thinking about our ancestors. It will be so hard for me to leave it. Most of all I am thinking of you, I think you would especially enjoy this beautiful place. But, hopefully with the God’s help, we will succeed to do so in a different way. Many kisses, yours, Maya”
“The best New Year wishes to you and your wonderful wife! And happy holidays! Mikhovsky family ” 21/12/1941
