### Letter from Edith Maryon

Edith Maryon to Rudolf Steiner

Sculptor's studio, Goetheanum  
Dornach near Basel  
November 15 [13] 1923 (afternoon)

Dear and honored teacher,

I hope you have now arrived safely in The Hague, without any adventures on the way, and that you will be given some time to rest before you are expected to work again! I don't understand how someone can be expected to give a lecture straight after such a long journey; it always seems strangely inconsiderate to me! I am a little better here, the chest pains have stopped, the “morning freshness” has been a little troubled, only I am a little weak and tired, this morning I was so lazy - I just slept, and only now am I writing; then I will paint and read a little, and think about the evening lecture. Please don't forget to tell me when you are coming back; the trains to The Hague are not listed in the Swiss railway guide.

Kalähne went out to play for the guards, and just now Clason came to visit me! She was very pleasant, though. Mrs. Geheimrat [Röchling] came yesterday; she is always very kind and I like to see her. Please give Dr. Zeylmans my regards, his wife and, if you see his parents, van Emmichoven, give them my regards too. I once lived there and they were very kind to me.

Now Miss Kuterova must take the letter to the post office.

Warmest regards

Edith Maryon
