T. E. Lawrence Correspondence – Page 131

E. M. Forster, Esq., West End...rst, Abinger Hamers, Dorking, Surrey. He is a very nice fellow, and wants to read it again ! Yours T.S.E. Pole Hill is "Lawrence" only. Can't drop that old name. Yet it was chosen as a decently obscure one ! Dates: did I tell you? a. Limited edition, full text, about Xmas 1925, 100 copies for subscribers, and about 50 for the fellows in the shop. It runs to 50% for the Oxford text, which will be destroyed. b. Public edition of 120,000 words (about 40% of Limited edition) as soon as Cafe & Doran wish, after Jan. 1, 1927. These are in case you wish to hold your articles till a selected date. I don't know how much military history will survive cuts (b.) Pre- cious little I think. But most of it came out in No. 1 of the Army Quarterly, a service review of 1921 or 1922 (or even 1920: bothered if I can remember !) Wm. Clowes & Son, Publishers.
