Dear and honored teacher,

I received a letter from Miss Felkin asking me to write to you and tell you that a meeting of her friends is taking place next Tuesday at 6 p.m., and that things seem to be going quite well, it seems to be resolving itself – and she would like you to think of her at this time. (She is coming back here for a short time.

It would probably be just as well if it came to an end, wouldn't it?

This week, we received some rather unpleasant news: a dramatic sketch, performed by students in the evening at the Basel Casino, caricatured (under pseudonyms, of course) the Anthroposophical Society. It was very detailed, not funny but very, very mean, and at times even verging on blasphemy. But it was very much to the taste of the Basel audience, who gave it great applause. Some things were quite cleverly and devilishly conceived. (Mr. I, Dr. Boos, Beatrice and others were present. I hope you bring back better news from Holland, and that the people there are less coarse than the ones here.

I am dealing with a box full of dolls and plaques for St. Gallen.

I am thinking of your birthday tomorrow and send many greetings again.

Edith Maryon

Greetings from Miss Geck for tomorrow.
