Correspondence with Edith Maryon 1912–1924

GA 263 — 27 February 1923, Hildesheim

Letter from Edith Maryon

Edith Maryon to Rudolf Steiner

[Dornach, presumably shortly before February 27, 1923]

Saturday, 2 o'clock in the afternoon

Dear and esteemed teacher,

So far nothing has come. Dr. Wegman came yesterday, I sat in the big armchair for twenty minutes and afterwards it was completely still and everything was in order. The sunset was quite beautiful, I hope the journey was also quite good and that you arrived safely. Today I am reading Steffens' “Little Myths”; he seems to me to be a kindred spirit of Hans Christian Andersen. My thoughts are mostly in Stuttgart, I very much hope that people will pull themselves together and achieve something worthy, the world needs it so much, and then one could have some hope again.

I am sending two clippings, the one from Collison does not seem to me to be badly done, in response to the wild lies of the Berlin correspondents. Miss Rove's letter about Stuttgart is good too. There are others, but nothing of note.

I send my very best wishes, including birthday greetings and good wishes, and hope that you will be back soon!

Edith Maryon
