Mr. Cornwell, I wanted to thank you profusely for the Sharpe series. You sir, are a gifted writer. Being a 1st generation Spanish American, I particularly enjoyed Sharpe’s travels through Spain during the peninsular wars. I can’t bear Sharpe completely retiring from service after Chile. Surely Antonia will get in trouble, requiring Sharpe’s rescue. Or perhaps he will see some action as a revived hero in his old age, with a command as major general somewhere? His sons I’m sure will want to be a hero like their father? Patrick is definitely getting bored and fat! Anyways, thanks for the tremendous entertainment and education, Sincerely, John Gustavo Gomez
