Dear Bernard, Having long been a fan of Sharpe, I heard that during the Spanish campaign, Wellington got browned of with the stupid demands of Horse Guards ie asking him to account for one battalion using too much jam etc. I believe he wrote a very sarcastic letter back admitting to all these extravagances, but ending with the comment ” however I believed I was here to defeat Napoleon” Do you know of this letter and where would I find it ? Thank you
