Text says: "ARE THERE OTHERS! As you will notice, the slang word « chump », if written in the manner here shown, reads the same even when held upside down. I think it is the only word in the English language which has this peculiarity, and therefore hope you will consider it worthy of insertion in your « Curiosities » column. - Mr. Mitchell T. Lavin, 931, West Ninth Street, Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S.A."

"ANOTHER « REVERSIBLE » WORD. Last month you gave me an example of a word so written that it read th same when turned upside down. Such words are very few and far between, but I have succeeded in discovering another, for which I hope you will be able to find a corner. - Mr. V. K. Allison, Lawrenceville School, Lawrenceville, New Jersey, U.S.A."

"MORE REVERSIBLE WORDS. Seeing the reversible word « chump » among your « curiosities », I am sending you a name, « W. H. Hill », which, when written in the style shown, reads the same when reversed. Surely this is the only name possessing so convenient a peculiarity. - Mr. B. R. Bligh, 2, Porchester Mews, Bayswater, W.
