Dear Sir, - Congratulations on your excellent Summer Annual. It was indeed a literary treat and worth every penny. The story by Wallace Stort was very intriguing and interesting, especially as it followed up a fair amount of correspondence from one-legged girls. Please let us have more of his efforts.
I notice that our old friend "Helen Fivetoes" has become engaged, and I think that all your readers will congratulate her.
I noticed that some weeks ago a correspondent signing himself "Very Interested," doubted if your one-legged girl readers could walk on a 5 inch heel, and I must say that I was disappointed to find that nobody took the challenge up. Now then, you high heeled monopedes, rise up in your might and answer! It might interest your readers to know that while I was on holiday this year a one-legged girl was staying at the same boarding house as myself. This young lady invariably wore a 4 inch heel and walked quite easily on her slender crutches when out of doors. Indoors, however, she dispensed with one crutch and generally wore a lower heeled shoe.
I might say that the loss of her leg did not handicap her very much, and almost every day she was to be seen in a very smart bathing costume going down to the sea on her crutches for a bath.
Finally I should like to second "One-legged Pair's" appeal for a "One-legged Number," illustrated with photographs of your correspondents.
Yours truly
Four Years Reader
