Correspondence with Edith Maryon 1912–1924

GA 263 — 9 November 1920, Hildesheim

Letter from Edith Maryon

Edith Maryon to Rudolf Steiner

Sculptor's studio, Goetheanum
Dornach near Basel, 9 Nov. 1920

Dear and esteemed teacher,

Everything is going well here, but the studio looks very empty and desolate. I have been carving Lucifer and have finished the three eurythmy plaques with great difficulty, although only at the last moment – when Miss Melland had to leave.

A Mr. Gaze arrived today and was sent to me by Mrs. Cull, and it seems that Miss Vreede is to pave the way for him to travel to Stuttgart for a few days. He told me that he is supposed to take over the books from Courtney, and he probably wants to talk about this when he has the opportunity.

Felkin has arrived safely and has now received good news from the mother. She writes that she is trying to preach threefolding to her acquaintances and says that when she explains it to people, they understand much better what it means, like herself, and think they understand through the intellect, because she only understands through intuition. Isn't that a little funny? Otherwise it's not exactly cheerful here. I very much hope that the affairs in Stuttgart can be well organized, more as you would like, than before, and that you don't overwork yourself too much.

With warmest regards

Edith Maryon
