Show moreAutograph letter from Thomas Edward Lawrence addressed to "Arm Staff Sergt. F.J. Seaton, A.O. Corps, c/o O.C. Troops, Rabegh, Arabia". The letter was written shortly after his return from Arabia. After having expressed his condolences to Seaton for the loss of his son, Lawrence lists the successful achievements in Aqaba and in the Hejaz and gives news of their old fellows and mentions that the King of Hejaz [Hussein bin Ali, King of Hejaz and Sharif of Mecca from 1916 to 1924] wants to give a medal to all the officers who served in the Arab Army, including the recipient. The author closes the letter with a striking sentence “[] Some day [sic] that little business in Arabia will be famous.". The letter comes with the original envelope.
