BENSON, STELLA

Mrs Oneleg. (Typescript, signed in blue ink).

Two leaves, typed on one side only. Not dated (probably 1925-1930). 26,0 x 20,3 cm. 95 lines. Two corrections, one in ink and one in pencil. Pin holes at left upper side and some waterstains.
¶ Passionate and lively plea marked 'Confidential' for a pension for Benson's friend 'Mrs Oneleg', a crippled paper bag maker, who 'after a life of tameless energy, cheerful profanity and selfless kindness, has become a Parish Case'. It is not quite clear for whom this loving portrait of a London East End character was meant; it may be a short story, but it ends concretely enough with a plan for collecting 15/- a week as a 'Lord George Govvament Pension' for Mrs. Oneleg, who is 'with her 59 years too young for a real pension and doesn't want to depend on church charity'.Stella Benson (1892-1933) was an English novelist and feminist who also wrote about China.
