Dear sir

In Sharpe’s Devil …………….You wrote about Sharpe translating to Lucille what Louisa was saying about the “Service Blas Vivar did Sharpe”  and adding some facts of his own………

Please can I ask what you mean by that?  I have always assumed that you meant Sharpe was advising Lucille that he and his Riflemen also helped Vivar and Vivar needed Sharpe’s help as much as the other way round.

But I could be way off the mark with my assumption.

As a side question………Have you been watching this year’s 6 Nations?  Our Mutual acquaintance has been pleased with the results if not the performances.
