You know you're either in too deep (or just really tired) when you start getting all emotional and overexcited at a picture of a letter your fave historical guy wrote. Especially when so very little information about him survives - no known birth date, no known burial site, all his letters to his greatest love were burned. But there it is... an actual piece of paper, with his handwriting on it.
