Hi Mr. Cornwell.

I finally got around to reading Fools and Mortals.  I confess I like your battle novels better, but I did enjoy it.  Well done.  I have a question about copying portions of Shakespeare’s plays.  They seemed to always want to copy out by hand.  But the printing press had been available in London for over a century.  Wouldn’t using one have been easier?  Or was the cost beyond what The Theater could afford?  But then surely it wouldn’t be beyond the means of Sir Godfrey and quicker than having Simon Willoughby copying it by hand?
