The letter that Joel and Ellie find in Bill's house is a pretty integral to the rest of the story in the TV show. Every scene with Bill and Frank where they meet, create and live a life and then die together was meant to provide more gravity to the message in that letter and the hope for the future that Ellie can provide.

I used to hate the world and I was happy when everyone died. But I was wrong. Because there was one person worth saving. That's what I did: I saved him. And I protected him. That's why men like you and me are here: We have a job to do. And God help any mother****ers who stand in our way.

The letter and this episode is 1000x better than what they did in the game. Although it does still have the scene where Ellie finds the porn mag in the truck which was pretty funny.
