Correspondence with Edith Maryon 1912–1924

GA 263 — 15 May 1923, Hildesheim

Letter from Edith Maryon

Edith Maryon to Rudolf Steiner

Sculptor's studio, Goetheanum
Dornach near Basel, May 15, 1923

Dear and honored teacher,

I hope that the journey to Norway went very well and that you did not find it too cold? I also very much hope that you have now overcome your cough?? So far, I have only received news from Stuttgart; Flossie wrote that the journey was very nice.

Yesterday the weather here was quite dreadful, with such heavy rain that the mountains disappeared and you could only see a short distance, and it was so cold that today we weren't at all surprised to see snow on various mountains. By contrast, today it is quite nice, so I was able to go to the studio. Yesterday Ranzenberger read another art lecture, with slides; quite an audience despite the bad weather. (I was not there.)

Today I made a hat for Miss Bauer - very fun! Attached is a clipping from the Basler Nachrichten. No news yet from Mrs. Mackenzie in America: maybe she will meet you, but it is not certain.

Dr. Wegman was here yesterday; she thought I looked well, and it is better, though there is still a little too little breathing.

Afternoon. What a shame that the trip to Berlin was so disrupted! Hopefully the rest of the journey to Norway went well. All my best thoughts and good wishes for your voice.

Warmest regards,

Edith Maryon
