Dear Sir, - Many thanks for publishing my last letter to you, also the photo of my wife standing on her crutches, which snap was not too clear; but, however, your reprint was remarkably good.
I am enclosing another one of my wife seated on the settee showing off an exquisite shoe in black suede with a very smart 4 inch heel, and trust that this will be suitable for reproduction although printed on sepia.
We have been gratified to note that you have other limbless lady readers, and have been interested in the letters from "Another Monopede," "Single High Heel," and a lady who signs herself "One Leg Preferred."
We hope these will write again, telling of their experiences.
My wife would like to know whether any of your readers have used a wooden peg-leg, and whether there are any advantages with these contraptions. She has the idea that one would be useful about the house when she is cooking, etc., as she would then have her hands free. At the present time she has a chair which is just the right height to rest on as she stands at the sink or table; but in a small kitchenette, as ours is, this takes up valuable space.
She has no desire to appear in public either in a wooden leg or in an artificial leg, neither do I wish it, as unless one has the very best artificial limb (which is an exorbitant price), one develops a much more awkward walk than a person on a pair of crutches, whose walk, when experienced, I think is quite graceful.
Yours truly,
Rex.
