Dear Sir, or it should be.
I started reading ‘Hornblower’ when I was about 10 I’m now in my 70th year and still flip back and have a read. As well your own brilliant novels love the reference to Matthew Dodd. I have just re-read Foresters autobiography ‘Long before forty’ If you’ve never run across it it’s brilliant. Any budding author should have a copy. Also his book ‘The General’ must have been one of the best novels about WW1. I can only imagine how it would be received nowadays. Especially if written by a certain author whose initials are BC . Can’t wait for the 6th October, I land in the UK on the 5th, guess where i’m heading next morning. Stay well keep up the outstanding work, grovel grovel.
