Sister Madeline asks if Rear Admiral Davis would be willing to send two white American children, Ada Manguall and Norman Manguall, back to the United States. She provides the address of their mother and explains that their father left the children as boarders. She feels that at this time the Deaconess Home’s resources are better geared towards helping those Jamaicans on the island who need their help following the earthquake.
