Correspondence with Edith Maryon 1912–1924

GA 263 — 25 August 1923, Hildesheim

Letter from Edith Maryon

Edith Maryon to Rudolf Steiner

Sculptor's studio, Goetheanum, Saturday
Dornach near Basel, [25 August 1923]

Dear and esteemed teacher,

Today the weather is a bit grey and cloudy outside, and also inside.

I was disappointed not to receive any news from Penmaenmawr today, and no letter since Monday – perhaps there is much more work to do than in Ikley? Hopefully everything will go well there. Here I am moving forward like a snail, only I am not sleeping very well.

A number of young men from the gymnastics festival in Dornach have now brought a wagon full of sawdust from above and now they are running past my window – as horses for the wagon – they didn't bring a real horse with them. I wonder if they will arrive safely in Dornach. Now the guard is checking the sawdust room.

Today I am visiting the studio again, I have not been there for days.

Sunday. Today I hope for post tomorrow. The sun is gracious, I sit in its rays a lot and hope for mental and physical improvement! Miss Röhrle arrived yesterday and is staying with Ilona; she brought a little news from Ilkley — but of course nothing from Penmaenmawr.

Are you going to travel directly back to Dornach – or visit that dreadful Stuttgart again? I'm glad it's the last week of Penmaenmawr! I hope London won't be made any longer!

Kindest regards and thoughts

Edith Maryon
