T. E. Lawrence to Henry Williamson
76 words omitted
[23 August 1929]
It was very pleasant
to see you, and Mrs. Williamson: and the kid! I'm always a bit sorry for
children. We've had a hell of a bad time: so'll they, I suppose. Among
my 1001 leave plans is a night or two with you in the new place: don't
be alarmed. I can sleep on the doorstep, and your food is luxury itself,
after the R.A.F. In 48 hours we could tear to pieces all contemporary
books, and begin English literature with a new clean sheet!
In this camp one is
always on duty: and I want to be able to look at and listen to trees and
running water, at my leisure, with no whistles or parades to keep on
interrupting.
