Dear Mr Cornwell, Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my previous questions to you.Your dedication to your fans is very admirable. I hope I´m not repeating any questions that have already been asked on this website with this mail. Being a dedicated Sharpe admirer I am (like many other Sharpe fans I guess) patiently waiting for more adventures featuring good old Richard and filling that void reading a lot of factual books about the 95th(Rifles by Mark urban and The diaries of Rifleman Harris to name but a few)and also other books by your good self of course. I´ve just finished reading Gallows Thief and of course had a big smile on my face at the mention of a group of Riflemen and their Officer helping out Rider Sandman.Was this a direct reference to any Sharpe book ?(if your not sure I guess I´ll have to re-read them all again)

I was also wondering what you thought to the character Barabbas Hakeswill in the newest Shape TV adventure “Sharpe’s Peril”.Was he interesting enough to snap up for your next journey to the peninsular ?? It´s worth a thought maybe. As always I wish all the best to you and yours and Thank you once again for your time and patience.
