TEL YAPHANK REFER: 4-6262 DEPARTMENT August 29, 1968 Dear Bill, The surgery was quite successful on all four of the Marshallese cases. We were quite relieved that did not have a cancer. The thyroid glands in the boys were in very bad shape and have to be removed almost completely. They have all recovered satisfactorily from their operations except for a slight drainage in the case of and . Sebio has bandages and can dress these wounds. However if one the cases should develop chills and fever and take a turn for the worse, I hope that you will see that they get the necessary medical attention. I certainly don't expect this to happen. The people are looking forward to their visit in Hawaii and I am most appreciative to you and your wife for anything that you may do for them. They had a wonderful time in the United States, and I am sure they will take back many pleasant memories of their visit. With best regards to you, your wife, Mr. Bonnet and the others.
