Description: This collection of 7 letters consists of 3 letters by Aldington, 2 letters by Rubinstein and 1 letter by Liddell Hart; all of the letters are typewritten or carbon copies. The letters pertain to Aldington's soon to be published T.E. Lawrence biography, Lawrence of Arabia: a Biographical Inquiry. The book contained numerous controversial facts and assertions by Aldington never previously included in a Lawrence biography. Both Aldington and Liddell Hart wrote to Rubinstein to request his legal assistance: one to ensure publication and the other to stop publication of the biography; the book was eventually published in 1955.
