Dear Sir
Again thanks for sharing your genius. Have recently began re-reading Sharpe all over again and they still get me engrossed and feeling emotions as though i know the people personally.
Regarding Sharpe’s promotions past the rank of Captain. Was there any reason why you chose to make these ranks Brevet/Army ranks and not Regimental? Also can we assume that although The Duke of Wellington confirmed him as the Prince of Wales’ Own Volunteers’ commanding officer, that again Horse Guards rejected the posting?
Does Sharpe have unfinished business with Lord Pumphrey? And if so, will we ever this resolved?
Have you seen this? http://stuffiread.wordpress.com/other-stuff/sharpe-22/ The author is trying to logically say there is unlikely to be another Sharpe by ruling out any scenario where you can write another set after Shape’s Rifles. I sincerely hope he’s incorrect. But should it turn out that way, thanks for all the hours of pleasure your creation has given to millions.

Hello Bernard.
I have seen you have plans for more Sharpe in the future, will it be post Devil or pre Tiger? I must say some peace time dialogue with Wellington would be brilliant. Sharpe’s politics perhaps? Massive fan of the character since I was a child. Thank you for the hours of enjoyment reading his adventures.
Terry.
