Dear Bernard in the past you have admitted you are a fan of Robert.E.Lee and his generalship so I always wondered what you thought his finest moment was since there is some debate. Longstreet always thought 2nd Bull Run his best. Others that Chancerolsville his Masterpiece and others the Overland campaign as a whole in fending off the Grant juaggernaught what do you think is he best moment and have you read Alfred Burns recently re-issued book on Grant/Lee and Sherman and the 1864 campaign as a whole which is an interesting counter to Fullers view???? Also you have written about the Saxon invasions and the Danish invasions will you ever write about the battle’s of Stamford Bridge and Hastings which really settled the issue on who was master of England and of course Harold the last Saxon King??? P.S You have mentioned that you may write another book on the American Revolutionary war. Can you give any clue on what its about and will it be after the next Sharpe book??? regards Geraint
