Dear Bernard Loved the Fort thought it excellent.Wondered if you were tempted to write about McLean again he played a huge role in the 1775 siege of Quebec where he went up against Benedict Arnold and Dan Morgan are you tempted??? Yours sincerely Geraint

P.S Others have mentioned about Starbuck being on the losing side as opposed to Sharpe but Wellington did suffer his one and only defeat at Burgos and in Sharpe’s Enemy Sharpe does (rather bitterly it seems) recall the siege so I wondered if you’ll have Sharpe on the losing side for a change?
