Correspondence with Edith Maryon 1912–1924

GA 263 — 3 March 1922, Hildesheim

Letter from Edith Maryon

Edith Maryon to Rudolf Steiner

Sculptor's studio, Goetheanum
March 3, 1922

Dear and esteemed teacher!

I am sending you the program for Stratford. For the time being there is no “chairman” for Sunday because Mrs. Mackenzie is hoping for Lord Haldane. We will see. I am also enclosing the preliminary program for Oxford. Please return them, they are my only copies!

Has the doctor decided to go to Stratford now that there is no eurythmy? I ask because of the distribution of rooms, but unofficially, of course.

My sister writes to me that Frank may have a rectory near Oxford for August; we will be able to participate then. It is not yet certain, but I hope so (although it is very uncertain whether I can be there).

Yesterday we had ten workmen in the studio! Today the second block of Lucifer was brought down safely, but it is going slowly and cautiously because the work is difficult.

Miss Lewis would like to rent Mr. Imrie's very small room; it needs to be painted because it is very dirty. I thought about it and ordered the work on the condition that if you are not satisfied, Miss Lewis will cover the costs, which amount to about 9% of the Swiss franc. Otherwise, there is nothing special to report. There is a lot of work to be done, and quite a bit of dirt; I will be quite happy when everything is in place and you are back here at work. I am arranging things so that as much space as possible is gained in the studio for your statue, which I am very excited about.

I hope you have plenty of free time in Berlin and that you don't feel the need to attend many lectures. I also hope that your health and voice are doing well.

With warmest regards,

Edith Maryon
