Extracts from Letters from T. E. LAWRENCE to ERIC KENNINGTON.
------------------
Colonial Office.
12 June. (21)
"About myself: I nearly came straight out again;
but then they stopped me: till Winston's speech: and
that's not till Tuesday: and now in the postponement plans
have changed, and instead of Jordan it's Jidda, the part
of Mecca in the Red Sea, for me. I am off there, for
July, the most stinking month in the year: and then Aden
for August. Enough said. I'm fixed and finished and
very sorry." ..............
Yours E.L.
------------------
Sunday.
"I'm not good with the pen: was never any good, and
am hopeless now." ...........
(Signed) E.S.
Badly worked lately: very tired, disgusted: soft headed:
sarry: hating myself and the T.O. Everybody being unpleasant
at once. Hot.
