Dealer Notes
It is now know that Lawrence wrote three letters dated 30th October, 1931. Two of them, to his Mother and to the typographer Bruce Rogers, have been previously published (albeit in expensive, now hard-to-find books); the other, a fascinating and revealing letter to a fellow member of the RAF, has been uncollected until now. All three are presented here, giving a snapshot into one particular Friday in the 43-year-old Lawrence’s life.
‘I commend this finely produced little book to all our members, as a valuable piece of ephemera for your Lawrence collection.’ From The T. E. Lawrence Society Newsletter.
