Lawrence of Arabia at the height of his acclaim and celebrity in Britain treads a careful line in his response to a letter from editor James Louis Garvin 1868-1947 editor of the Observer newspaper and a leading spokesman for the Conservative party:<br /> <br /> "I'd be delighted to talk to you personally about the Middle East: which looks a sad tangle because our focus is wrong: all's very well really: only I can't write either now or in the future about it since most of my views are based on official information and it wouldn't do to give it away. I know I'm supposed to have written upon it but actually all I did was one short letter to the Times not controversial and that was by request"<br /> <br /> He expresses his willingness to meet with the editor subject to these reservations and concludes "Yours sincerely T E Lawrence By the way I'm not a Colonel now!"<br /> <br /> A choice letter right around the time that Lawrence lost the draft manuscript of Seven Pillars in the Reading train station. Two weeks later he began "to scribble out what I remembered of the first text"; the disenchantment with British policy in the Middle East was still ahead. unknown
