As well as searching for the testicles from the sphinx on Oscar Wilde’s tomb (Report, 4 November), is the Père-Lachaise cemetery curator Benoît Gallot also on the lookout for the large stone bust that’s gone from Jim Morrison’s grave? It was there when I visited in 1981, but has been missing for a number of years now. I guessed that it may have been in a student’s bedsit years ago, along with a traffic cone.

• I am so sorry that John Crace is still struggling with his mental health (Digested week, 4 November), but would like him to know how much he is helping the rest of us with ours. After a difficult few months coping with the physical and mental effects of bowel cancer, my days have been brightened by reading John’s sketches. Please keep going, John.
