Correspondence with Edith Maryon 1912–1924

GA 263 — 7 June 1922, Vienna

Letter to Edith Maryon

Rudolf Steiner to Edith Maryon

Vienna, 7 June 1922

My dear Edith Maryon!

Thank you for your letter, which gave me great pleasure. So far, everything has gone well here, with the exception of the fact – as I already mentioned – that the follow-up to Kolisko's lecture has completely failed to materialize in scientific circles, especially among doctors. What happened during this lecture was not exaggerated, but – on the contrary – was even presented quite mildly by the newspapers this time. Otherwise, however, things have gone quite well so far.

I cannot be present at the discussions this time. There is too much work to be done. But I am also doing well physically and hope that this is also the case there.

I will be very happy to be back in our studio. — The series of the first five lectures has ended. Today the second series begins with “Time and its Social Demands”.

The eurythmy performance was also well received here. I am being asked many questions about whether someone should do this or that for the event in Oxford. I take the view that everything should be left to the local committee and not, for example, interfered with, as was done at Christmas in Dornach. There are always tendencies in this direction that are not good.

I am writing this between two lectures by Blümel and Baravalle, and so I can only

send

very best regards

from Rudolf Steiner
