Correspondence with Edith Maryon 1912–1924

GA 263 — 11 October 1922, Hildesheim

Letter from Edith Maryon

Edith Maryon to Rudolf Steiner

Sculptor's studio, Goetheanum,
October 11, 1922

Dear and honored teacher,

Since the letter still has not arrived, I fear that it means too much work. I am sad about that! I had a faint hope that they would leave something out and correct lectures, which still gives enough work!

Here the time is filled with telephoning, answering letters and doing a great deal of organizing in all areas! But today, because the sun is shining a little, I am going to Basel.

Mrs. Horegood has written to me, some questions that have to wait for your arrival, and to me personally about Susie, because she wants to send her to [the] Villa St. Georg. Hopefully it will be possible to arrange this, to the satisfaction of Susie and her mother.

Admiral Grafton has visited me several times. I hope that things are not as bad as all that with his daughter; she just wants to get to know life a bit herself. She will be going to live with Rev. Lord Victor Seyman for a few months in three weeks. The Admiral has high hopes for this because he is a clergyman and a lord!! I very much hope he won't be disappointed! He talks about it sensibly and places some hope in his daughter's opinion; she also seems nice to me.

Mr. Steffen came back yesterday evening and was very pleased to hear that the 5th lecture was already on its way. He also told me that Prof. Bürgi is really putting a lot of effort into it and helping him a lot.

Otherwise I have no further news from London, but the Admiral intends to make enquiries at the consulate today, and if anything is known about your visa, I shall write to you immediately.

Furthermore, I would just like to send you my best wishes – and hope that you are not suffering from headaches! And that everything is calm in Stuttgart and that people are paying a good deal of attention.

With my warmest regards,

Edith Maryon
