Day 15 - January, 20, 1936 (Indy)

January 20, 1936

Indy,

I have been watching as Germany has been growing more and more aggressive under Hilter. I fear that we will soon pay again for our actions after the Great War. I worry for anyone who gets in Hitler’s way. I’d love to know what you think about it.

Have you been to Egypt lately? Your friend Sallah is still in the middle of nearly every dig, I hear. He is an interesting man. I met him when I was in Cairo a few years ago. I have heard that the Germans are looking for any mystical or magical thing they can find. It would seem that they think they can harness these powers for their own ends. I am not sure that I believe in the powers but I do hope Mr. Hitler and his men do not find anything to test out.

I have a new motorcycle that you’d love! It flies like the wind! It’s another Brough Superior. You should get one for yourself! They custom manufacture them and they are quite fast. Mine will go 100 miles per hour. Not quite as fast as those aeroplanes you flew in with your buddies in the war but pretty fast for something on the ground.

I hope to see you sooner rather than later.

Ned

T. E. “Ned” Lawrence died a few months later in a crash on his beloved motorcycle. I’m not sure if Grandfather ever had one but my own father loved them and has ridden one as long as I remember. Grandfather attended Ned’s funeral just before he went back to Egypt to find the Lost Ark.
