T. E. Lawrence to his family


Cairo

19.7.18

This is just a two-word scrawl, as I'm off again tomorrow, and this is midnight. The enclosed photographs are of three of my bodyguards - the people with Bedouin clothes - called Abdulla, Rahail, and Mustapha. They came to Cairo with me once, and appear to have celebrated the occasion by getting themselves taken. All quite good men.

No reply from the W.O. about Arnie yet - but I hardly expected One so soon. Will write from Akaba.

N.
