### Letter from Edith Maryon

Edith Maryon to Rudolf Steiner

Pension Eugenia  
Ruvigliano, Lugano, Sept. 12, 1921

Dear and esteemed teacher,

On Wednesday I will travel back to Dornach. I think my stay here has done me a lot of good, and Jeannette's nerves are improving too. It has become quite hot again, but not as oppressive as before. I have not heard when you will arrive in Berlin, but I hope it is on Sunday, because of the corrections etc. What will be the date of your arrival in Dornach? We need you very much in the studio. From Monday, before the start of the theological course, because then you will be so busy that everything else must take a back seat. I will prepare for Monday, in the hope that you will come.

We have made all kinds of little excursions in the area, and I have been quite lazy, thinking that this should be a good preparation for a lot of work during the winter. Mrs. Mackenzie writes to me that she is preparing her plans for the teacher training course at Christmas. Has anything been said or done in Stuttgart in this regard? I am very curious to see if this time it will be possible to generate more interest in the cause. I do have some hope that this could help us find some suitable helpers, who we urgently need. If we had them, things could snowball and spread.

I am sending all kinds of good thoughts and wishes for success on Thursday and for your voice to get better.

Jeannette has a friend who has made various interesting discoveries, including a machine that enables the blind to hear printed words: they sound. Another machine rings when a person's shadow falls on it. She will send me the article he wrote about the first machine.

Is there anything printed about the research of the scientific work in Stuttgart that I could send him?

With warmest regards

Edith Maryon
