Hi Mr. Cornwell.

Concerning your contemplation of writing another novel about Waterloo in 2015, please don’t do it.  I really don’t think you could improve on Sharpe’s adventure there, and life is too short to visit any battle twice.  However, I do miss Sharpe.  If you haven’t cemented your decision for what to write in 2014, I cast my vote for Sharpe at Albuera.
