Hello Mr. Cornwell, I wrote to you before with a rather stupid question but I’ve been wondering this for a while now and wanted to know: If Sharpe was a real character and everything that you’ve written about him was true, then would he be one of Britain’s great historic heroes and we would have heard of him or would he just be another brave soldier in the Napoleonic wars? Considering that he did save Lord Wellingtons life, survived the war with India and France, managed to take an eagle and rose from the ranks! P.S. Look forward to your reply, I think your work is unbelievably brilliant and can’t wait to read more. Carrie Overthrow
