The advice emphasizes caution in sharing historical letters that reveal truths about a deceased spouse's past, particularly those involving former relationships and family dynamics. Given that the husband and ex-wife cannot provide context, presenting these letters to their children might reopen old wounds rather than bring clarity. The recommendation is to honor the husband's choice to keep these letters private, suggesting that his reasons for doing so deserve respect.
But I think the danger of a more negative impact is greater. So, please hold off on sharing the letters for now.
Since neither your husband nor his ex-wife is alive to give the letters context or to help heal the trauma of the separation, they could do more harm than good.
