I have been reading Sharpe since he was a baby soldier and was overjoyed to discover Sharpe’s Assassin! It was like meeting an old friend after a prolonged absence and I was happy to see that you allowed Sharpe a happy retirement with Lucille.  I’m sure that the Duke may well call upon him for future adventures but it is nice to think that the old warrior finally has a home and peace.

My thanks and all the best.
