Dear Ibby: My Naval Aide tells me that Swede is to be operated on tomorrow because of some difficulty with his lung. The second-hand report I have from the doctors is that they are completely optimistic about the outcome. Nevertheless, I know that this will be a period of tension and strain for you, and this note is simply to assure you that the thoughts and prayers of Mamie and myself will be with you.
When Swede comes out of the anesthetic and again feels like talking, tell him that we will be pulling for his quick and full recovery.1 Affectionately
