Lot 60
Thomas Edward Lawrence, "Lawrence of Arabia" or T. E. Shaw (1888-1935). Two autograph letters addressed to Albert Yarwood at his shipbuilding company in Northwich, Cheshire. In the letters, Lawrence refers to progress on H.M.S. Auxiliary "Aquarius" ('I've had letters from Singapore about the Aquarius, which seems to have been adopted as a Station Pet! If she does half what they ask of her, she will be a wonder ship. The only criticism so far is that she is a bit hot, in the engine room. So I suppose the poor old chief is still sweating! He'll qualify for a jockey in two or three years time.'); he discusses a new design of flooring for his cottage, 'Clouds Hill', in Dorset (NB: Lawrence is fatally injured in a motorcyle accident near to this cottage in May 1935); he refers to Pat Knowles ('Pat is my next-door neighbour and he and I have gone into partnership (Knowles & Shaw, very LTD) to build our respective shacks'); he is grateful for Albert Yarwood's hard work in supplying 'composition details' and refers to the Air Ministry ('I never dreamed I was going to put you to all this trouble. Two long letters and a box of samples. I am so sorry, and so grateful! You have been run off your legs for the Sierra Leone ship: we are in that state over our own target boats...In the far background, almost forgotten, stands the Air Ministry wringing its hands and swearing. No matter. When we have finished the job we will have time to remember our owners.'); he requests an appropriate bill ('you must please charge us properly for what you send. Fellows should pay for their fun, and I'm having a lot of fun out of my cottage.'). Each letter is entirely handwritten in bold black ink - headed 13 Birmingham Street, Southampton - and is complete with its original envelope. Each letter is signed, 'T E Shaw'. One letter is dated 7 June 1934 (envelope addressed to Albert Yarwood Esq, Fernacre, Greenbank, Northwich, Cheshire - postmarked 9 June 1934); the other is dated 6 August 1934 (envelope addressed to Albert Yarwood Esq, The Dock, Northwich, Cheshire - postmarked 6 August 1934). The letters date from the period in which Lawrence was part of a small team developing high-speed boats for the RAF. Very good condition, clean and bright; small rust mark on one envelope (2)
