A number of John Lennon’s letters, including teenage ones sent to his first girlfriend, Cynthia, were published in the book The John Lennon Letters. Lennon and Cynthia met in art school and would eventually marry and share a son together. While their relationship did not end well, their early days together were full of romance.
