Correspondence with Edith Maryon 1912–1924

GA 263 — 26 November 1921, Hildesheim

Letter from Edith Maryon

Edith Maryon to Rudolf Steiner

Sculptor's studio, Goetheanum
[presumably November 26, 1921]

Dear and esteemed teacher,

I heard there was a heavy snowstorm on the 21st and 22nd and I very much hope that you arrived safely in Kristiania without catching a cold. I also hope that the Norwegians did not schedule a lecture in the train station waiting room for your arrival, they would have made good use of the time if they had learned that you would arrive a day early!

The stove arrived at the studio today, it heats quite well, but looks like a giant animal, otherwise it is not unpleasant once you have recovered from the initial shock.

There is still a lot to be done in the houses. I have now become a writer, house painter, seamstress and more and will not be dissatisfied if I have everything in order by the end of next week.

Two of the most important men among the people Mrs. Mackenzie wanted to bring with her have too much work at Christmas and therefore cannot come then, but will come later. Would it be possible to hold another course at Easter or Whitsun? I don't know how long the vacation is in England at Whitsun; at Easter it is usually from 10 days to 3 weeks, depending on the circumstances; at Whitsun it is probably not longer.

No news from Kristiania has yet arrived in Dornach.

I hope they are not expecting too much?

With my warmest regards

Edith Maryon
