{"value"=>"<p>Includes correspondence with doctors, AHS's notes and memoranda, get-well messages, and his replies, instructions and memoranda about medications, diet, insurance, and bills. These folders contain records of AHS's major illnesses, including Dupuytren's contracture (1946), the cerebral stroke he suffered while in Burma in 1957, cataracts, for which he was operated on in 1962, and his terminal illness. Very few documents refer to the heart attack he suffered in the early 1930s. Many letters and memoranda by AHS following his stroke in 1957, while dealing with other matters, contain references to his condition, and in many instances give a moving description of his disabilities and efforts to overcome them. These may be found in almost any subject folder in the collection and in the personal correspondence filed in the biographical segment.</p>"}
