Correspondence with Edith Maryon 1912–1924

GA 263 — 15 January 1922, Hildesheim

Letter from Edith Maryon

Edith Maryon to Rudolf Steiner

Sculptor's studio, Goetheanum, Dornach near Basel
[presumably January 15, 1922]

Sunday evening.

Dear and honored teacher,

The lecture should take place in Munich tomorrow evening; I will be so pleased when I receive the message that everything went well, that the lecture was a success and that you have left the city. Until I receive the message, I will have to think about it a lot.

There is not much to report from here. I am practising a lot in the carpentry workshop, I am carving (in small portions) on the Christ garment and doing other work in between. So far there has been no news from England. Last night six English people left, including Miss Wilson, who wants to telephone Mrs. Mackenzie to ask if there is any news and then to telegraph Mrs. Drury-Lavin tomorrow. If an invitation has been sent out, Mrs. D. L. wants to go to Mannheim to ask various questions of Dr. [Marie Steiner]. I believe that Mrs. Mackenzie invited you to the apartment, etc., if the members have not arranged otherwise. At least, that's what she told me in preparation.

I just read the essay about Steffen now, it reads even better in print, perhaps because you can summarize more quickly in print.

The weather today was beautiful, with blue skies, deep snow and frost. I saw many people with skis and sleds who plan to take advantage of the time. I do hope that you have not caught a cold and that your voice is not hoarse from overwork. It is good to be here, but it is boring!

With my warmest regards,

Edith Maryon
