T. E. Lawrence Correspondence – Page 300

To H.Williamson 33617 A/c Shaw R.A.F. Hiranabad Waziristan Dear Williamson Various things ha.e held me back from writing to you. My move? I am a creature of habit, a to change station upsets my mind. My work: it is heavy here, so that for three months I have done no ...iding. Your ...... for you are a figure now: and y... ill not want the encoura.ement of ...vate people. Cape tells me he has your next novel. I hope you will make two or three years' reserve money out of your opportunity, & so get off your chest one of the very big things of which I'm sure you are capable. The risk is that you may grow too rich: because then you'll have, like poor Beloc, always to do all sorts of dirty things to earn a little more. You know that you have my best wishes & admiration, always. Yours T.E.Shaw
