Janis Sharp (Opinion, 17 September) writes “support through difficult times means so much to someone whose life is in limbo. The good that exists in our world and the power of the people in it can and does achieve miracles.” I have set up a petition calling on the Ministry of Justice to overturn Lauri Love’s extradition order. We can at least make our views known about this cruel decision – and try to achieve a miracle – rather than just thinking it’s somebody else’s problem. The petition is at: https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/stop-the-extradition-of-lauri-love

• It is so disappointing that after Saturday’s marvellous Refugees Welcome march, there has been almost no publicity from the BBC or the press – not even from the Guardian. Thousands of mainly young people, with colourful banners and placards, enthusiastically chanted “Refugees are welcome here”. Politicians and actors added their voices in Parliament Square. These young people are our future, yet their voices clearly haven’t reached Theresa May, who is even now preparing to speak discouragingly at the UN summit on refugees in New York.

• I too am a lover of A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Reports of my death, Weekend, 17 September). When I am sad I play the DVD. Two weeks ago I went to my granddaughter’s wedding in a forest outside Paris, beside the river. The weather was very hot and it was magical. It reminded me of that beautiful play. I danced even though I’m 86 years old.

• Perhaps some old folk remedies will re-emerge now that the NHS no longer offers treatment for a variety of “minor ailments” (G2, 19 September). I’ve been told that the best cure for a ganglia, for example, is to hit it hard with a Bible.

• Please do not interfere with Rufus (Letters, 16 September) It is the only crossword I have any hope of finishing. I can’t even get started in all the others.
