Description
T. E. Lawrence
Autograph letter signed ("T.E. Lawrence"), to "Dear Madam"
sending his autograph and informing her that "My account of the Arab Rebellion was put in print (privately) some years ago, & I have no intention of writing anything more. Newspapers are seldom accurate", 1 page, 8vo, [Bovington Camp], integral blank, 30 March 1923
This letter is unusual in being signed "Lawrence" despite being written just after he had adopted the surname Shaw when he enlisted in the Tank Corps in February 1923.
