LET me assure Mr P Nicholas that my reasons for writing are purely objective. Mrs June Rovaretti has written letters that are cultured, informed, and a delight to read. Should we add her name to those disapproved of by Mr Nicholas?

I assume that the other member of ‘the trio’ is Mr Howard Ashton. Well, he writes with objectivity and courtesy. We must be grateful for such people and grateful to the Argus for allowing freedom of comment to one and all.

As for ‘putting up with it’, all that I can say is that I have met quite a number of people who have thanked me for my letters.
