Dear Mr. Cornwell! I am reading and enjoying “Wellington – The years of the sword”. Seems like Mrs. Longford is very much under the spell of her object of study. Well, who could blame her for that? One of the most interesting parts was the description of the one and only meeting between Wellington/Wellesley and Nelson. Gives you a fine characteristic of both men! I heard that no commentary by Nelson about this meeting exists, because he obviously had no time afterwards and other things on his mind. Yet in your book “Trafalgar” you let him say that he found W. rather “frightening”. Is this your own interpretation, or does a commentary exist by him about that fascinating meeting? Grisel
