I am awaiting THE BURNING LAND, but until I receive it, I am enthralled by AGINCOURT. You are something else. I’ve never read with such vigor and if I could kiss you I would. I have two questions: 1) What happened to the money that Nick took from Sir Pallaire? The next thing you know he and his girl are living off alms.

2) Since I’ve read about everything you’ve written, who would you suggest otherwise? I’ve read all C.S. Forester and O’Brien is kind of unreadable for me. Thank you again, profusely, for the enthralling, manly reading. My very best regards, Sir Richard Fattengausse
