Mr. Cornwell, Presently I am reading your book “Sharpe’s Tiger”; which has indeed been a compelling and enjoyable read thus far. Just wanted to commend you for your fine authorship and your attention to historical authenticity. I consider myself a avid historian with a profound passion for the American Civil War period and the Napoleonic Era. Having stated such, historical authenticity is important to me when I read a historical novel. You truly have won another avid and loyal reader of your exceptional work. I lavish the thought of reading more in the Sharpe series. I am the son of an English mother, native of Peterbrough. Have visited England several times. In essence your work has proven to be a enjoyable read. Best of luck and blessings in your future novelist endeavors. Richard Burton
