Love him, loathe him

Sir: As the 'very nice and rather extraor- dinary woman from Vienna' with a sense of the absurd and encumbered with the pleasurable task of doing a PhD thesis on Jeffrey Bernard (Low life, 28 July), I would be most grateful if you could write to The Spectator stating why you love or loathe him (marking envelope 'Extraordin- ary woman').
