Single page, a third of an A4 page of correspondence paper, discussing his future in the R.A.F. and the joys of motorbikes, to Henry Williamson, envelope dated Apr 11 1933 Under a manuscript letterhead reading "Still Plymouth!" Lawrence writes of how "the R.A.F. still keep me on stretch, pretending to discharge me, but hesitating: as soon as they know their minds, I shall be at peace again." In a footnote he writes "I had a noble ride: Salisbury in 2 hrs., 56 mins: a splendid bike, this one of mine. I slide past Alvisses . . ." Lawrence was disenchanted by the work he was doing at Plymouth, where he was maintaining the fleet of seaplane tenders, and applied to be discharged. He was formally approved to buy himself out of the service for œ17/10/0, and by April 15th the newspapers reported him as having left, but in fact a few days after that he was called to the Air Ministry and offered a new posting to the R.A.F.
