Dear Mr Cornwell,

I hope that this does not infringe the prohibition on ideas. However, I have enjoyed the “back stories” on Sharpe. I have always wondered why and how he came to love the 95th Rifles so much, yet when we first meet him as a Rifleman, he is the disgruntled quartermaster. Is there scope for a book or two in that obviously pivotal part of his life?

Have we read the last of Sharpe’s daughter Antonia? Seems like that would be an interesting relationship as she becomes a young woman.  Thank you for all the hours of enjoyment.
