Mr. Cornwell – I have very much enjoyed reading your novels. I discovered the Sharpe series while looking for something to give me a different perspective after becoming enthralled with O’Brien. Most enjoyable for me, however, has been the fact that I have been able to pass on my enjoyment of your work to my 36 year old son. It speaks to the quality of your work that father and son, both English teachers, have found a new contact point between them in the joy of reading the Sharpe Series. Alex has gone on into your other work and introduced me to the Archer series and has just handed me the first book in the Arthur trilogy. Our mutual pleasure in sharing your works has added much to our relationship. Thanks very much. Ted Lehmann
