Dear Bernard

I saw that your next book was postponed because you went into Surgery. Your health will always be more important than a book (which doesn’t matter) and I wish you a speedy recovery. Please get well soon

I wondered if you’d ever considered writing about your own story and time in Northern Ireland. Given that it was at the height of the Troubles I’m sure it would be an interesting story to read about.

P.S for debate sakes id ask this question, Wellington is often said to have never lost a battle though his battles at Aldea De Ponte and Tordesillas in 1812 could both be classed as defeats but I ask you would you Redinha in 1811 a defeat or a draw ?
