Dear Sir, - Having read in your wonderful paper many letters from one-legged girls, I feel I must write to you in answer to them, and let them know that there is yet another one-legged girl to be added to your list of correspondence friends.
When I was eight years old I met with an accident which necessitated the amputation of my left leg about three inches above the knee. This, of course, left rather a long stump, terminating in a long puckered scar. My stump is well formed, healthy and plump, and I am extremely proud of it.
Recently, after a lapse of ten years, I thought I would go and be fitted with an artificial leg, but found, to my disappointment that the stump was utterly useless for this purpose, through being out of action, as it were, for such a long time. But still, I do not mind, because I am able to get about quite easily and, if I may say, quite gracefully on a pair of those neat little elbow crutches.
I do so hope that in the near future you will publish more of the stories about one-legged girls and their doings. Also I hope Miss E. Stanton puts more detail into her already charming drawings.
Hoping to hear more detailed descriptions of female monopedes, and thanking you for making us one-legged girls fell more hopeful full about the future,
Yours sincerely,
One-Legged Typist
