Dear Mr Cornwell, On your website you said the following: “don’t please send me ideas for a book. I cannot use your ideas for a Sharpe book for the same reason that I can’t read your manuscripts. Lawyers.” I have an idea for a book (it reads like the beginning of a Robert Louis Stevenson novel) and it came from some family correspondence written by a since deceased relative in 1938. Because the author is dead does that mean you can safely use it? Yours sincerely, Edward Kendall
