### Letter from Edith Maryon

Edith Maryon to Rudolf Steiner

Sculptor's studio, Goetheanum  
Feb. 16, 1921

Dear and esteemed teacher,

I am now back at work again. I stayed at home for three days to finally get rid of a cold, and now it has improved considerably. I have also organized the food a little better.

I hope you have not caught a cold? I am thinking a lot about the work in Germany and sending my best wishes that a great deal of good will be achieved there – I am also hoping for good success in Holland. But I am envious of those who traveled there yesterday! I would have liked to have gone too.

Today they are finished with the electrical work (a bit late with this change), and half of the scaffolding has already been taken down, there is a lot of dirt, but you can already see Lucifer and the creature quite well from the ground.

I am told that it is terribly cold in Holland, no hot water in the room, only two blankets on the bed, unheated rooms and corridors, lecture hall, etc., so that one must be very careful not to catch a cold. I hope you took the eucalyptus with you.

With best regards,

Edith Maryon

18. I can only send this letter from the post office now.
