One of your correspondents seems to take umbrage with the fact that a blue plaque commemorating the life of Lord Alfred Douglas is to be placed at St Ann's Court, Hove, and not at 35 Fourth Avenue (Letters, October 13).

No, 35 Fourth Avenue was Bosie's mother's house. Yes, Bosie lived there but it was not exclusively Bosie's home.

If your correspondent wants a plaque there, too, and wishes to invest two years of his energies into making such a vision become reality, then I will give him every assistance.

However, as a private citizen with a life of my own, I cannot do the job of English Heritage, The Regency Society and Brighton and Hove City Council for an indeterminable length of time. It is shameful I have had to do it at all.

If your correspondent wishes to channel his letters towards these organisations, it could lead to plaques commemorating Bosie in Brunswick Square, where he wrote his autobiography, at Old Monk's Farm, Lancing, and one in Oriental Place, where Bosie's father had rooms.

As I have discovered, it only takes one appropriately-directed letter to start such a ball in motion. One just has to care enough.

With regret, I cannot respond to the "Judas" quote your correspondent cites, as the context in which it was used is somewhat cloudy. Suffice to say, it was an Oscar Wilde quote.

I do hope your correspondent was not reviving the eternally played (and incredibly tedious) game of using Oscar's name to besmirch Bosie.

The pro-Oscar camp has merrily peddled totally one-sided inaccuracies about Bosie for more than a century.

They seem to always conveniently overlook the fact Oscar was a much older man than Bosie, who was still a fresh-faced college boy when they met.

But then, Wilde always did like his boys young - shame that sometimes they were rent boys who would later give evidence which would cause his downfall.

When all is said and done, I am glad Bosie is now being talked about so much in your pages and I hope my endeavours are leading to his poetry and sonnets being rediscovered by a whole new generation.
