Dear Mr Cornwell

firstly can I say that I am a fan of your work. I love your style of writing which is entertaining and informative.  I always enjoy the historical notes at the back. The two characters I love most are Patrick Harper (I’m an ulsterman too) and Jebidiah Hakeswell the most rottenest bastard ever committed to the fictional word. I would just like to ask why in Sharpe’s Sword did you make him have an affair when in Company he risked everything to secure his captaincy to provide for his family?  It did take me a good while to forgive Richard Sharpe for that. None the less, please continue writing your great stories and I look forward to another Sharpe story

yours
Mark
