Teodor Bok's letters to Ewa Kuryluk are full of acrid humor, irony, sometimes sadness and despair, always concealed with a joke or evasion. Bok wrote to Kuryluk about love, young ladies and subsequent "women of his life", about drinking, guests from Poland and, not least, about his sculptures and prints. Obviously, he wrote also about the mountains, as his trips to the Alps were an opportunity to meet up in Vienna, where Kuryluk lived in the 1970s. Drawings rarely, as in this short letter written on a piece of paper torn from a notebook, beginning with the words: "Ewusziu! (sic!) Will you forgive me?" appear in his letters. "Of course! Dear Ewunia. I have not written..." On the verso page, Teodor drew a head of an animal or a bird spitting out (?) a flower (Letter from Teodor Bok to Ewa Kuryluk, in an envelope stamped and dated 11 September 1974).
