• I never got round to emailing Michele Hanson (Obituary, 6 March) to tell her how much I liked her writing, so before it’s too late will you let the lovely Nancy Banks-Smith know how much I appreciate her. John Crace, too, and most of the Guardian’s writers as well.

• I regularly used an article Michele Hanson wrote about relationships when I was teaching ethics in an Anglican theological college. Would she have been surprised to know she was challenging very effectively the thinking of future C of E vicars? Probably not. Nothing seemed to surprise her. But had she known, she would have had something devastatingly perceptive and witty to say about it.

• Mnemonics are often of little practical help (Letters, 6 March) but each morning I’m grateful to a certain accountancy firm as I pick up my Keys, Phone, Money and Glasses.

• I have just found the advantage of the new format. It’s easier to read in a hospital bed when your right arm is elevated in a sling being looked after by our amazing NHS. Many thanks.
