Could I please ask for advice about the following
hypothetical scenario?
>From 1964 to 1968, my mother (who is now dead) wrote
some letters to a close personal friend of hers (Mrs
A). These letters contained many confidences, and could
be embarrassing for people who are still alive (eg me)
if they were read by other people.
Mrs A is now famous and has donated all her
personal papers, including my mothers letters, to an
archive. As my mother's heir, I hold the copyright but
since I do not own the letters, do I have any rights
about their being made accessible in a public archive?
Advice please.
