Dear Mr. Cornwell,
First of all let me thank you for the great moments of reading I have enjoyed over the last ten years with the Sharpe series. I stumbled upon it when I visited the UK for the first time and I remembered the series when they were broadcasted in Portugal in the early 90’s! After that I read all the books in English. We already have the portuguese version, but I still preferre the english one.
The next remark relates to a Portuguese character: Lieutenant Vicente. As a portuguese I’m happy because you depict him as a brave and educated fellow. They could probably reunite again during the portuguese Civil War (1828-1834)…
All the best!
Joao
