Yesterday, much improved, she’was up and about and showing the card to her nurses. “Nancy and I were sorry to learn that you have been ill. We hope ’that you will soon be feeling better and we send you our warm good wishes,” said the card from President Reagan and Mrs Reagan, the Leon county
sheriff's office in Florida reported. The young woman was in good spirits yesterday, and so were her parents, said a sheriffs office spokesman. "It looks as though she will be discharged next week,” the spokesman said. The card from President Reagan cheered her up enormously, he said. She was obviously very pleased, and showed it to all her nurses. The young woman’s condition. critical when she was admitted, then described as satisfactory, was now good, he said. Meanwhile the nation-wide hunt for her attacker continues.
