Hunter Thompson: On Letters.

Thompson had a way of keeping anyone unfriendly to the very idea of him beyond even mere curiosity. In that case, you were a nice person doing the best you could. You didn't need "it"--anymore than you needed to become good friends with Andy Warhol, Ralph Nader, Harry Dean Stanton, or Dr. John the Night Tripper, whoever they were.

--What About Clients?, 2007

WAC? misses HST. Thompson put some of his best and funniest stuff in personal letters--and he wrote volumes and volumes of them. See the Charlie Rose interview, undated, but likely about 1997.
