T. E. Lawrence Correspondence – Page 259

Mr. Secret Hall. He replies in a letter (not even marked confidential) that a woman had been interviewed, was 53, eccentric, a widow, who he states she had lived with me throughout the war, while I served with an Air Force Battery in Birmingham -- and that she had no intention of getting in touch with me. I sent him back a snorter, saying that I had written to her personally, and he had no right to communicate with my supported G.Q.. That in a big station his action would have led to much gossip, very embarrassing to me; but that fortunately there was no G.Q. at Bridlington, and so his letter had come direct to myself: Since then, complete silence from my abandoned widow and from the Chief Copper. Please give my regards to the Halletts and to Mrs. Hall. All is very well here, and the work well up to ... time. Yours Ted.
