Some of the most interesting material in these diaries is the detailed notation concerning the thought process and evolution of his writing. The diaries also include recollections, observations and experiences during his travels as well as introspective commentary on his feelings and beliefs. Some of the typed pages are carbon copies of personal letters to his friend and colleague, <span class=\"persname\">Dodie Smith</span>.</p>"}
