I think Dill would be especially interested if Jem and Scout became friends with Boo Radley. He would wonder if they ever saw him again or if he ever came out of the house. He would especially be interested in Boo’s story and what they might have found out about him and the Radleys.

I think Dill would be especially interested if Jem and Scout became friends with Boo Radley. He would wonder if they ever saw him again or if he ever came out of the house. He would especially be interested in Boo’s story and what they might have found out about him and the Radleys.
Dill would also want to know about Atticus, since Dill didn’t have a father who cared about him (according to Dill). Atticus played a major role in the growth and maturation of Jem and Scout as well as Dill. The lessons Dill learned from his visits to Maycomb would have stayed with him his entire life.
He would also be curious about the neighborhood and Miss Maudie’s new house that she built after the fire that destroyed her old one. He would wonder about the Radley house and if it was still as spooky as it was when he was a child.
He might also be interested in Scout’s love life since they once made a pact to marry each other!
Maycomb was a second home to Dill, and he would be worried about not only the town and its citizens like Dolphus Raymond, but also Miss Stephanie Crawford who he came to visit in the summers.
I think he would also be concerned about the progress of race relations in Maycomb since the novel thematically addressed the topic of racial discrimination and oppression in a small town in the South.
All of these ideas could go into a letter Dill might send Scout. But remember, Dill is a very imaginative child who likes to make up stories, so his main interests might be more about Boo and the other exciting things like the outcome of the Ewells and Tom Robinson’s family.
