Correspondence – Page 20

Trenchard has read it. I do not think he could
have understood quite how well I meant, quite how well I
have written about the Air: for the notes shocked him.
Now re-reading it, even afterwards, I still think it is
right, so far as it goes. If only it had gone the whole
way…Then I’d have been proud, I fancy, of something
which I’d written. Its the work of my maturity,
the Seven Pillars had taught me something of the writers
craft : and surely parts of it are powerful? and my own?

Yours
T.E.L.
