T. E. Lawrence to D. G. Hogarth


Military Intelligence Office
War Office, Cairo

26.4.15.

By all means Cilicia: I was only afraid of asking too much. And Alex. as the naval base, is the crux of the whole show.

By the way, in pushing the matter, if you can, it may help you to know that opinion here and in India is very much in favour. It's only home that sticks us up.

Arabian affairs have gone all to pot. I've never seen a more despicable mess made of a show. It makes one howl with fury - for we had a ripping chance there.

Push on A therefore, if you can: it seems to me the only thing left for us.
