Correspondence with Edith Maryon 1912–1924

GA 263 — 22 August 1923, Hildesheim

Letter from Edith Maryon

Edith Maryon to Rudolf Steiner

Sculptor's studio, Goetheanum
Dornach near Basel, [probably August 22, 1923]

Wednesday.

Dear and esteemed teacher,

Today a letter from Penmaenmawr finally arrived, and it gives me great satisfaction to know that everything is going well there. I am also glad that you find the area beautiful. Will the course be better attended than in Ilkley? I am always pleased when there is a large audience, because then at least I can hope that the effort of the lecture will be better rewarded, but I know full well that the number of listeners is less important than their quality.

There is still a long time to go – years! Today I had a visit from Mme Ferreri, who has been taking a cure in the mountains for several weeks and now plans to stay at Grosheintz until you return and lectures resume.

Thursday. There was a very favorable review of Steffen's book “Kleine Mythen” in Wednesday's paper.

The weather is very fine again, and I am sitting in the garden. Why does Dunlop make such a strange programme arrangement? It must make things rather difficult, and one can hardly offer anything to the outside audience because of the short time. It really goes to the other extreme like most of the programmes. Here it almost always remains the same. Nothing to report, the activity is entirely in Penmaenmawr.

With warmest thoughts and greetings

Edith Maryon

Miss Bauer would like to send a greeting.
