I explained to her that I was deeply in sympathy with her and that I would give her some small amount of money. But I said to her, “How is it that you do all this yourself? Isn't it a great responsibility?”

She said, “Yes, it really is. I've had a very hard day today.”

I said, “What happened?”

She said, “Yesterday one of the woman I brought over and who is to be operated on today asked me to come into her room, and I knew that she was a Communist from the Communist coal mining section of Belgium, and I knew that all this group were against me and against my husband. But I didn't know anything about this woman personally except that she needed this help in the form of operation. The woman said, ‘Here's a letter. I'm going to mail this tonight or have it mailed and it will say, “If I die, you are responsible.” It will ruin you in Belgium. I just want to warn you of this.”'”
