Letter from Edith Maryon

Dearest and most honored teacher,

So far, no news from Vienna has reached Dornach. I am impatiently waiting for someone to write here with news of the journey and report on the situation (regarding the congress), because I still hope that perhaps all the newspaper reports about Dr. Kolisko's lecture have been exaggerated and that we will not be as harmed as one might expect at first glance. I would also very much like to know whether there are any signs in Vienna of the hostile attacks that have taken place in Germany? Or are they being spared over there? It would really be quite nice if the Austrians would show themselves to be more dignified and reasonable than the Germans have unfortunately done; then one could hope more for the future of the Central Powers. I still have no report from Mrs. Mackenzie. There is a lot to do in the houses, a whole range of small repairs and improvements.

Herr von Heydebrand has taken two photos of the children in the further training course and will photograph the children during the eurythmy therapy next week. Have you now thought of what you want to say for 'Anthroposophy'? I hope you are well and that the first lecture went well. Did quite a few people come? I wish I could be there too. It is quiet here, heavy and boring. You are also anxious, you don't know what could happen and you want to hear and experience everything! Please take good care. There was a thunderstorm yesterday and a bit today, but neither was too bad.

With my warmest regards,

Edith Maryon
