### Rudolf Steiner to Michael Bauer (excerpt)

Berlin, July 3, 1906

...Adriányj really had no need to get worked up about Reuß, at least not as far as I am concerned.[^1] Reuß is no more my business than the business of the others who formed lodges with Reuß. I have nothing at all to do with any of that. I only had to deal with Reuß in a loyal way. Otherwise, it is highly strange that people are now attacking Reuß who had not previously bothered to get any grades – I am not talking about the material ones, of course. But no one should believe that I have anything to do with such grade trading...

[^1]: The Hungarian Emil Adriányj (b. 1865) lived in Nuremberg from the beginning of the century. Freemason, theosophist and, for a short time before falling out with Reuß, Grand Secretary of the Memphis-Misraim Order; later a well-known masonic writer.
