Dear Mr Cornwell I have been an avid reader of the Sharpe series and can honestly say to my mind he is the ultimate hero. I am a little bit baffled as to what became of his Spanish daughter. Sharpe does not seem to me to be the kind of person to abandon her. Have I somewhere missed what happened to her in one of the books

Secondly was there a reason why after all the plundering and looting did Sharpe end up without much money although in the book where Sharpe & Harper goes to South America he did end up with a little bit of gold. Harper seems to have come off better in the money stakes I know you are a very busy man but I would like to be put straight so to speak Many thanks Brian Evans
