London Life

London Life | 1937

Married Monopedes

Dear Sir, - I picked up a copy of "London Life" in a train at Brighton, and was very interested in the story by Wallace Stort of "A Strange Lover's Experience."

I have been a reader ever since, although this is my first letter to "London Life"

I am 24 and have been one-legged for nine years. I lost my right leg in a motor-cycle accident, it being amputated too high to wear an artificial limb. I have to use a crutch.

I have been married three years now. My husband also has one leg, he having lost his when quite young. We are both of a very happy disposition, and our one-legged condition does not worry us in the least. We go about the house without crutches. we both dress very smartly when we go out, myself wearing a Court shoe with a 4 inch heel.

We would like to hear more from other one-leggers.

I will write in my next letter same of our experiences, accompanied by some snaps.

Trusting this, my first letter, is suitable for publishing.

Yours truly,

Married Monopede.
