Dear Sir. - Both my husband and I were disappointed in your Xmas Number. While admitting that it was up to standard in the Art section, it contained nothing for your growing number of monopedes. Where also were the letters from monopedes, etc. - the only two published were my own and the girl who signed herself "Another Monopede."
I was glad to see in "London Life" the first letter from an entirely legless girl. "Happy Legless Wife" does, indeed, sound happy, if one can judge from her letter; far happier than I should be, I am afraid, in like circumstances, although if someone had told me six years ago that I could be perfectly happy on one leg, I could not have believed them.
My friend Joan, who I mentioned in a previous letter had had to have her other leg removed, is getting on wonderfully well now, and we are hoping that she will be able to spend a few days with us in the New Year. She is a happy soul, and one never sees her with the blues, though she has suffered a lot.
She writes to say that she is now practising with a pair of artificial legs and finds it a trying and difficult job, though she has been managing splendidly to do everything for herself these past months.
I shall probably have some experiences to relate after her visit, so will now close.
P. S. - As several readers have requested a photo of a monopede wearing a peg-leg, and none has been sent, would you care to publish one if I sent it?
Yours truly,
Single High Heel.
