Letters from T.E. Lawrence to Sarah Lawrence, his mother, Bruce Rogers, typographer, and, previously unpublished, to John Gosset Hawtrey, a Flight Lieutenant then, later Air Vice-Marshall, passing on a writing assignment, ‘. . . I do not write. Years and years ago, in 1922 to be exact, I tried for the third time to write a book, failed again, and decided to pack up writing for good. One has to be born to it, I fancy.’ Frontispiece is an original linocut by Sharon Newell, short accompanying essay by the compiler and reproductions of photographs of the recipients; compiled and annotated by Adam Newell; 125 numbered copies.
