Dear Sir, - I am glad to see our one-legged girl readers corresponding again. I noticed a remark recently about the young lady with the pin-leg, whose photo you kindly published some time ago. I can only tell your correspondent that Elsie told me that she had never used crutches, as the doctor said it would make her stump stronger and more useful if she had a wooden leg.
It was amputated when she was only 9 years old. She is now 17 and very active, and is not in the least shy or unhappy about it. As she said, "I mean to make the best of it!" She has lots of friends of her own age, and is to be seen constantly about.
I am sending another photo you might like to produce, as, in spite of all the correspondents who have written about pin-legs, this is the first photo I have seen.
I was interested in "Dawn," but think she is too morbid about her condition. She must be very charming, and I wish we could have her photo.
Yours truly,
Lover Of Monopedes.
