Dear Mr. Cornwell: I have another thought concerning the Starbuck Chronicles whenever you finally get back to them. I know this is a LONG way off, Nate hasn’t even reached the midpoint of the war, but I think at some point, Starbuck should meet Abraham Lincoln. Perhaps an encounter with this truly great and good man will ease the bitterness of ultimately being on the losing side. Maybe you could weave a final Starbuck tale around Lincoln’s assasination?
