T. E. Lawrence Correspondence – Page 86

To G. Brough Hut 105 R A F Cadet College Cranwell. 27. 9. 26 Dear Mr Brough I'm very much in your debt for four years solid pleasure. Would the enclosed be any use to you? I don't want to sign it Ross, since that only makes the newspapers sit up & take notice; whereas they have already made beasts of themselves over the "Lawrence" name, & can keep it, so far as I'm concerned. I don't mind your showing it to people (or sticking it up on your stand, if that is a practice at Olympia) but I'd rather you did not print it in a newspaper till after December 15, when I'll have gone abroad. This is supposing it's of use, as a chit. What I really meant it for is best thanks, for a hundred thousand very jolly miles. Yours ever J.H. Ross.
