### Letter to Edith Maryon

Rudolf Steiner to Edith Maryon

Stuttgart, 23 June 1920

My dear Edith Maryon!

As things have turned out, I cannot be in Dornach before Sunday. I do not like it at all, but there is no other way.

Regarding the program proposed by Baron Rosenkrantz, I can only say that I will make every effort to carry it out. Naturally, I am prepared to show the visitors the building and the studio myself and discuss them in detail.

Now I can hardly say anything else from here, except that despite everything I will leave a lot of unfinished work here. What is lacking are purposeful, skilled people; and they are hard to find today. A task as large as the one begun here weighs heavily on the soul; and in the face of such a burden, it matters little whether one tires a little more or a little less. Certain things just have to be done.

I long to be back at work in our studio. Well, it won't be long now.

Warmest greetings for today
