Dear Sir, - Having read the article from a correspondent, entitled "In Love With a Monopede," I have come to the conclusion that he is not exactly in love, but is purely fascinated - which state I know is much more general than is imagined.
I may say that I have been a one-legged girl since the age of five years, and have now been happily married fifteen years and have two fine girls. I have always used only one crutch and have always done my own housework and nursing the children.
I have always dressed smartly and wore a smart shoe, but with only a moderately high heel owing to the notice it attracts when walking out.
I now wear an artificial leg when going out, as this enables me to keep my clothes much better and they also look better, as they are not dragged up under the arm by a crutch; and now, although I never wear the leg indoors, I would not go out without it. I am enclosing some snaps which you are welcome to use if they are of any use for reproduction.
Hoping my lead will induce others to do the same.
Yours truly,
Happy With One.
