Dear Mr. Cornwell. I’m a old time retired NYC firefighter who enjoys your writing. Youe retirement is secure because I’m heading for the poor house buying and reading your books. I think I have read most of them except the Sharp books. I only read Sharpes Tiger. I’m kind of sorry I discovered you because I read all day and into the night. My eyesight is deteriorating and I’m losing weight. My wife of 48 years is not very understanding suggesting that she must be very boring. It’s not that she is boring but that your books are most interesting and I can’t seem to put them down. In any case your old age is secure because as long as you write I shall support you. I know you do not want advice but I shall give you some anyway. I will cease my support to your old age if the Starbuck series is not continued. There is still half a war to fight and I have to know how he fares. Take care and thanks for some of the best reading I have ever experienced. Heres to you and all the books still to come. Joe D’Albert
