Correspondence with Edith Maryon 1912–1924

GA 263 — 16 August 1923, Ilkley

Letter to Edith Maryon

Rudolf Steiner to Edith Maryon

Ilkley in Wharfedale (Yorks)
Hillside, August 16, 1923

My dear Edith Maryon!

So far, everything has gone well. Thank you very much for your letters. But the assumption that the lecture reports will be written in a way that a journalist can understand is quite unrealistic. Baroness Rosenkrantz is doing it with Dr. Wachsmuth, and the journals are then accommodating and taking them up. Today was the penultimate (tenth) lecture. I have just come from it. This afternoon there will be a presentation of eurythmy. It seems that the first presentation of eurythmy was well received after all. Those of us who were sitting among strangers said that the strangers were particularly enthusiastic. I will talk about the eurythmy figures that have already been set up tomorrow, when people will have seen the eurythmy again.

I try to give a vivid picture of Waldorf school teaching in my lectures. And it seems to me that the understanding is good.

Now I hope that the health situation there will continue to improve. In this expectation and sending the warmest thoughts,

Rudolf Steiner,

I have just received a message from
Dr. Wegman
that Miss Günther has died.

Address later:

I still do not have a program.
