MRS Hogarth (Letters, January 13) is very impressed by Matthew Woodcock's appreciation of his wife (December 31).

As he has been married only a few weeks, he could hardly say otherwise. However, if Matthew is still married to the same woman ten years from now, and is prepared to publish his true feelings about his wife, that should make really interesting reading.
