Dear Bernard

I wondered if you’d ever consider getting Sharpe to the rather forgotten Battle of Tordesillas 1812 on the retreat from Burgos . Souham had fought and beat Wellington in the small fight at Aldea De Ponte and he seems to have done the same here too. He had a very good record against Wellington  it would seem.

If you’ve not read can I recommend Andrew Bamfords book on Grahams final Campaign in Holland as something to read over Christmas. It would of course feature  The Prince of Orange pre Waterloo and tragically for Graham his final Action the Siege of Bergen Op Zoom which would end in bloody defeat.

I wondered if you’d ever been tempted to write a story set in this campaign at all ?

Regards

Geraint
