Does digital publication of correspondence have significant influence on the approach to intimacy in relations to traditional publication? We believe it does. However, the change involves not as much the contents of correspondence and the emotional atmosphere it is accompanied by, or its meaning (we omit the issue of the medium’s range), but the functions which a reader receives along with the new tool. The possibilities we demonstrate on the example of digital edition by Jan Lechoń and Kazimierz Wierzyński certainly make it easier to move within the body of text, to search for the most important information, to search the letters in view of a wide range of criteria. At the same time, a user receives processed data, out of its original context and placed in an entirely new one. Although the filters do not strip of the valuating and emotional components, they are read purely in the context of their lexical use, not its surroundings. Digital edition does not have a significant impact on the question concerning the intimacy of a published text, but it extends the range of questions and issues a theorist, a reader, and first of all an editor, must face.
