Dear Sir, - I was very interested in the letter "Two on One" from your one-legged correspondents. I am on a single right leg myself, and you have already published a letter and photos from me in the past.
It is nice to find other girls who like their single legs as I do. To nestle down to a smart little pair of French crutches and swing along on one smart shoe is, to me, a constant delight; but if I am stared at, how much more must two girls with a left and right leg each! I only wish I had a girl friend the same as I am.
I have heard people remark that they would rather be dead but have to live as I do, but I cannot see that, as life is sweet even with one leg off.
For walking I wear only a moderate 2 to 3 inches heel, and generally a lace shoe, but in the evenings I indulge in my love for a 4 inches to 5 inches heel, as my former photo shows.
I certainly think it must be easier to hop on a right leg than a left, and in any case it is entirely a matter of balance. I like both crutches for outdoor use, and for the house a single one, or I hop without one.
My nickname is "Birdie," because of my hopping about on one leg. I have many men friends, some of whom are definitely attracted by my condition.
I sometimes wear a pin leg, and even go out to parties in the evening wearing it with a long evening frock and a smart silver shoe, but best I like my crutches with an ordinary costume and my empty skirt blown idly about by the wind as I swing along on my little shoe.
Yours truly
Amputated Girl.
