Summary
The content of the letters is generally personal in nature and contains Winter's sentiments of endearment to Leslie. However there are also numerous mentions of theatrical performances in New York City, as well as the places where Leslie is traveling. There are also references to articles and books Winter had published and mentions of people he came in contact with or from whom he received letters. The letters display a close relationship between Winter and Leslie and often he refers to her as "Babine," "Babe," or "Pet." Most often he signs the letters, "Old Ga," but also uses "Ancient" and "Old Burro."
