As we have recently discovered that translations of works by Dr. Steiner exist in various countries, e.g. Bulgaria, Spain, etc., translations of works by Dr. Steiner exist that were previously completely unknown to us, we would like to ask you to send us a list that is as complete as possible of all translations of works by Dr. Steiner and other anthroposophical books known to you as soon as possible, so that we can gain a complete overview of the literature in the different languages. We also request that you let us know which translations are in preparation or planned for the near future. With warm regards Rudolf Steiner Dr. I. Wegman

To the members of the Anthroposophical Society It seems that all kinds of rumors are being spread from certain quarters in connection with the current failure of my physical strength. It would have been a pleasant feeling for me if, on this occasion, the spreading of rumors had not found a place in anthroposophical circles. But since that does not seem to be the case, I am unfortunately obliged to say a few words about the present failure of my physical strength. Recently there have been many courses in very rapid succession. Finally, here in Dornach, a series of parallel courses that have led to me giving more than 60 lectures in a relatively short time. I was able to do all this quite well, without fear of failing strength, although I have been obliged to watch the measure of my strength for a long time. Through Dr. Wegman's devoted collaboration, it was always possible to calculate the forces for the courses. However, when calculating the possible achievements, the demands that otherwise come from the members go beyond our strength. And such excessive demands could not be avoided, especially during the last September events. They finally overstrained my physical strength. I do not want to speak disparagingly about the demands in question. It is quite understandable that one or the other comes to me with his or her questions. But the bow has been stretched too far for once. But for now I ask the members to take it as a twist of fate that I am deprived of my beloved lecturing activity for some time; I ask you to agree with me that I am in the very best care with Dr. Wegman, who has a loyal helper in Dr. Noll, and to counter rumours that only create bad blood. To all the warmest thoughts Rudolf Steiner

To our friends of Anthroposophy gathered at the Goetheanum A year has passed since our conference during the last Christmas season, when a new life was to be given to the Anthroposophical Society and a spiritual foundation stone was laid for it. This Christmas I cannot attend the gatherings of our friends, I cannot do anything in person to help with what has been organized. I was unable to assist Mrs. Marie Steiner in anything that needed to be prepared. My physical strength collapsed during the fall events. It would probably have held despite the many courses; but only if no other efforts had been made beyond those of holding the courses, which were well calculated for this strength. Now that efforts have come, in a perfectly understandable way, that went beyond those of holding courses, it was too much after all that was incumbent upon me during this past year. So now I am dependent on regaining physical strength with the help of the unparalleled, self-sacrificing care of my friend Dr. I. Wegman. (Dr. Noll is Dr. Wegman's loyal helper. All this must be accepted as fate (karma). It would be sentimental to say much about how painful it is for me to be physically separated from the places where we work at the Goetheanum. I would just like to hope that none of this will weaken our dear friends, but rather make them stronger and more effective. All I can do for these Christmas events is to send to the hall where I want to be with the friends spiritually, descriptions of the “Christ Mystery in the Context of World and Human Development” - which I developed following the messages about Michael's mission. Their lecture should awaken the consciousness that I want to participate as well as I can in this year's Christmas meetings. These messages about the mystery of Christ, which correspond to the Christmas festival mood, will also appear in the following numbers of the journal. Christmas greetings and thoughts for Dr. I. Wegman, who is deprived of her membership by me. With all my heart Rudolf Steiner

To our friends of Anthroposophy gathered at the Goetheanum

A year has passed since our conference during the last Christmas season, when a new life was to be given to the Anthroposophical Society and a spiritual foundation stone was laid for it.

This Christmas I cannot attend the gatherings of our friends, I cannot do anything in person to help with what has been organized. I was unable to assist Mrs. Marie Steiner in anything that needed to be prepared.

My physical strength collapsed during the fall events. It would probably have held despite the many courses; but only if no other efforts had been made beyond those of holding the courses, which were well calculated for this strength. Now that efforts have come, in a perfectly understandable way, that went beyond those of holding courses, it was too much after all that was incumbent upon me during this past year.

So now I am dependent on regaining physical strength with the help of the unparalleled, self-sacrificing care of my friend Dr. I. Wegman. (Dr. Noll is Dr. Wegman's loyal helper.

All this must be accepted as fate (karma). It would be sentimental to say much about how painful it is for me to be physically separated from the places where we work at the Goetheanum. I would just like to hope that none of this will weaken our dear friends, but rather make them stronger and more effective.

All I can do for these Christmas events is to send to the hall where I want to be with the friends spiritually, descriptions of the “Christ Mystery in the Context of World and Human Development” - which I developed following the messages about Michael's mission. Their lecture should awaken the consciousness that I want to participate as well as I can in this year's Christmas meetings. These messages about the mystery of Christ, which correspond to the Christmas festival mood, will also appear in the following numbers of the journal.

Christmas greetings and thoughts for Dr. I. Wegman, who is deprived of her membership by me.

My dear friends! You will gradually return home from your visit to the Goetheanum. This time I could only be united with you here in spirit. Nevertheless, I hope that in your hearts the forces kindled by the Christmas Conference a year ago have received a new impulse. Remembering this and fervently hoping for it, I send you my warmest greetings and most intense thoughts. Dr. I. Wegman, my friend and devoted nurse, does likewise. Most sincerely Rudolf Steiner
