Dear Miss Roper, - I recently wrote you in regard to dresses suitable for my lame condition. You will remember that my right leg is 10 inches short with a stiff knee and stiff foot (on the same leg) pointing to the ground.
The Editor kindly said that you would answer my letter in a later issue, and after my description I rather hoped you would be able to make a sketch incorporating my lameness with one of your suggestions.
However, owing to your inability to sketch at the time, a drawing was done by someone else, and I feel that hardly meets my case.
If your leg has been saved (which I trust, for your sake, it has), I wonder if you would make a drawing as I have suggested.
If you have had to undergo an amputation, then may I hope that you will very soon recover and take comfort from the letters in "London Life" which show that so many crippled girls are inordinately happy even though they may be minus one of their legs.
Yours truly,
Miss Jackson.
