Correspondence with Edith Maryon 1912–1924

GA 263 — 17 May 1922

Letter from Edith Maryon

Edith Maryon to Rudolf Steiner

Sculptor's studio, Goetheanum,
May 17, 1922

Dear and esteemed teacher!

This morning Ehrsam brought me the telegram – thank you very much! But I couldn't tell from it whether the lecture went well, without any incident – because I was afraid! At any rate, you arrived in Mannheim, hopefully without burnt fingers, either mentally or physically. I urge myself to be patient until further news, but I am impatient! I still couldn't go to Basel, there is a thunderstorm today, and it seems as if I will be prevented from going again. There is nothing special to report here, many are a little sick, stomach problems, but not serious, says Wegman. (Not me.) Ljungquist, Mitscher, Countess Lerchenfeld, Donath and a few others. Stuten told me a few days ago that he had to go to Amsterdam, so he must have left by now – I think he traveled alone! Kulerova and Geck are both resting, nothing serious either. It is very boring here, but [people are] quite industrious.

The thunderstorm has stopped, so I will be able to go to Basel after all.

I hope you will receive a letter in Cologne tomorrow addressed to the Monopol Hotel; another letter (with a newspaper) was sent to Munich. We are now halfway through the lectures and I am looking forward to the 24th! Will you be going via Stuttgart or not?

With warmest regards

Edith Maryon
