Experts opened a sealed letter from first Czechoslovak president Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk on Friday at the Lány presidential manor.

The five-page document, mostly in English on yellowed pages, reportedly dictated to his son Jan, includes funeral instructions and reflections: “I am sick, seriously sick. It’s the end, but I’m not worried. You will go on working, but you must be careful,” historian Dagmar Hájková regurgitated at the opening. The letter likely dates to summer 1934. It was confirmed to be real.
