Each section is arranged chronologically. The correspondence chronicles the personal lives of both Fania Marinoff and Carl Van Vechten. It was generated during Marinoff's constant travel as an actress and to a lesser extent from Van Vechten's career as a writer. In general, the writers discuss daily activities, work, friends, colleagues and family. Many of Marinoff's letters were written from the various stops of the theatrical company she was travelling with. The letters include reminiscences, remarks about fellow thespians, plays she had seen and reactions to news relayed by Van Vechten. Van Vechten's letters to Marinoff also recount the progress of his career writing, reactions to the reviews of the plays Marinoff appeared in and their mutual colleagues and friends.</p>"}
