T. E. Lawrence to Clare Sydney
Smith
Mount Batten:
Saturday [25 March 1933].
Good: I shall be at Worthydown on Fiiday next, ready collection. Please
make the hour 2 p.m., because then the pilot will have a quiet lunch.
The Thursday-to-London isn’t, I think, possible. W/Cmdr. Andrews is now
C.O. He shapes pretty well, too.
I wrote to P.S. telling him that I had sadly decided to get out. The
feeling is like the sparrow fledgeling's, as it goes forth.
What a pen, what a pen! Nothing of concern here. Regards.
S.
Notes
P.S. - Sir Philip Sassoon
This letter is printed in The Golden Reign as though it was
written in early February 1933. Lawrence applied for discharge from the
RAF on 6 March and wrote to Sir Philip Sassoon about it on 21 March. He
visited the Smiths at Manston from 31 March to 2 April.
