This was written in 1812. Gentlemen, Whilst marching from Portugal to a position which commands the approach to Madrid and the French forces, my officers have been diligently complying with your requests which have been sent by H.M. ship from London to Lisbon and thence by dispatch to our headquarters. We have enumerated our saddles, bridles, tents and tent poles, and all manner of sundry items for which His Majesty’s Government holds me accountable. I have dispatched reports on the character, wit, and spleen of every officer. Each item and every farthing has been accounted for, with two regrettable exceptions for which I beg your indulgence. Unfortunately the sum of one shilling and ninepence remains unaccounted for in one infantry battalion’s petty cash and there has been a hideous confusion as the the number of jars of raspberry jam issued to one cavalry regiment during a sandstorm in western Spain. This reprehensible carelessness may be related to the pressure of circumstance, since we are war with France, a fact which may come as a bit of a surprise to you gentlemen in Whitehall. This brings me to my present purpose, which is to request elucidation of my instructions from His Majesty’s Government so that I may better understand why I am dragging an army over these barren plains. I construe that perforce it must be one of two alternative duties, as given below. I shall pursue either one with the best of my ability, but I cannot do both: 1. To train an army of uniformed British clerks in Spain for the benefit of the accountants and copy-boys in London or perchance. 2. To see to it that the forces of Napoleon are driven out of Spain. Your most obedient servant, Wellington

Not sure why Wellington didn't just lead with "It's Pat Harper, Sharpe, he's missing". You *know* that would've put an end to Sharpe's whole "but, I'm a farmer now" nonsense, right away.

i feel that this whole scene was set up to give wellington plausible deniability: "did you ask sharpe to do this black op?" wellington: "i did, and he refused" wellington knows perfectly well that he could have got sharpe straight up, just by laying his cards on the table

This is missing one of the most important lines in the entire episode (movie?) They try to play on Sharpe's sense of patriotism and asking why he won't fight for his country anymore. He says, "Country? I hear no talk of country, only company!" (talking about the East India Company) Wellington replies something about what's best for business and commerce being what's best for the country...and that's why they want an experienced soldier like Sharpe to go there to secure England's economic interests and position. Things haven't changed much.
