Dear Mr. Cornwell, My name is Nicholas Hulm and I am currently a Yearling (Sophomore) at the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY. I just wanted to express my thanks for creating so many wonderful books. I started reading them when I happened upon Sharpe’s Tiger when I was in my High School Library in West Fargo, ND. From then on I tried to read everything of yours that I could get my hands on. I finished the Sharpe series before I graduated High School and am eagerly awaiting the next book of the Saxon Tales. I have also loved Gallows Thief, Stonehenge, and others. Your writings have helped inspire me in choosing my profession as an Army Officer as well as what I want to pursue academically for the rest of my life. I was able to declare my major this year and had no hesitation in picking History. I would just like to say thanks again for writing such magnificent stories. Very Respectfully, Nicholas Hulm United States Corps of Cadets Class of 2013
