LAWRENCE, T. E. Autograph letter signed (“TE Lawrence”) to Sir Hugh Trenchard (1873-1956). 2 pages, 8vo, spotting . “MY RELUCTANT BOOK…MUST COME TO A HEAD AND BE FINISHED WITH” Lawrence (trying to efface himself as Airman Ross) writes to the top of the RAF about getting leave to make arrangements for Seven Pillars : “Curtis & the rest have been pressing me about my reluctant book: and I feel that the thing must come to a head and be finished with. It worries me too much as it is: and I’m not in the mood (or the position) to afford more worries.
