Dear Bernard,

I wondered if you knew the story of HMS Trincomalee, now at Hartlepool, one of two surviving Leda class frigates; the other being Unicorn at Dundee.

I know that the adventures of frigates have been done before, but I’d dearly love to read a version of accounts covering a duty, and written by yourself.

Looking forward very much to Sharpe’s Assassin, best wishes to you and yours from all at the BCFC.
