T. E. Lawrence Correspondence – Page 521

To Ldhoa 22/11/97 wrote and told me, and I advised Milson as the selling agent, an artificially filled up one too much, since my fame was only a thimbleful that time. I rather fancy your benefaction will make his pot boil for life. God's bread, you know. If you can think of any personal means by which I can repay you, you have only to command me. It's in your debt for ever that I am, as I can never repay your kindness. I make no offers to myself. I expect it will take you two or three years to get out the first section of your Remains: probably after I will be then: this address will find me till the end of 1900: I am happy to see the name I still am a retainer of the Air Ministry; who are considerate and humane lords. Again I'd like to repeat my thanks. Yours ever T E Shaw
