Mr Cornwell,

I just wanted to express my great thanks to you for writing the Richard Sharpe books. Undoubtedly, these are my favorite books of all time. Between the annoyance of Obadiah Hakeswill and the splendor of characters such as Colonel McCandles I often read, and reread, with a rabid enthusiasm. Candidly, I suggest for your enjoyment, “Stonewall’s Gold” by, Robert Mrazek; this is a book following a young boy in the Civil War who reminds me of a more tame, adolescent Sharpe. It is a page turner, which I hope you will have the pleasure of reading. Once again thank you for your wonderful work.

Best Regards,

Kevin Fray
