He frequently mentions mutual acquaintances, particularly Carson McCullers, Tennessee Williams, Peter Owen, Gore Vidal, and Mohammed Mrabet. Many of the letters refer to an interview with Bowles done by Evans. The health of his wife Jane, life in Tangier, and travels of both of them are frequent topics.
