"You know that I am very much wanted here in Algiers, so it is impossible for me to do nothing. So I have finally decided that it is my duty to go to the maquis where I know I could serve as a nurse or even, if necessary, and I hope with all my heart, fight with weapons in hand. The road will of course be quite difficult to reach a maquis, but I hope that with God's help I will arrive safe and sound"
