Dear Bernard, In further enquiry into future Sharpe novels could I ask whether you have ever thought of getting Sharpe to the Battle of the Nations at Lepzig and whether you have been tempted to get him to the battle’s of Queestown and Detriot in Canada and have him meet Issac Brock it would be before Sharpe’s Seige chronologically so he would not be breaking his promise!

Also on a slight tangent have you ever thought of writing about the epic Siege of Gibraltor during the American Revolution?

And finally, you have written about Authur and Alfred and their impact on England, will you ever write about Edward 1st and his wars like the Evesham campaign? Any way enjoy your holiday, Geraint
