To Katherine, Luther’s wife - Martin Luther

TO KATHERINE, LUTHER’ S WIFE August 14, 1530.

Grace and peace in Christ, my dear Kathie! The messenger has scarcely a second to wait, but I must send you a line. Tell Pommer and the others that I shall soon write. No news from Augsburg, but expect letters hourly. It is reported that our answer to the Refutation will be read publicly, but they refuse us a copy of it, to enable us to answer it. If they are so afraid of the light, our people will not remain long. Since St. Lawrence’s Day I have been almost well, having had no buzzing in my head,

which enables me to do my writing, for till lately I was much plagued with these noises. Greet everybody and everything. More again. God be with you. Amen. Pray confidently, for your prayers will be answered and God will help.

MARTIN LUTHER . (De Wette.)
