To Nicolas Hausmann letter 10 - Martin Luther

TO NICOLAS HAUSMANN

Luther thanks him in his boy’s name for toys. August 5, 1528.

Grace and peace! My Hanschen thanks you, dear Nicolas, for the beautiful toys, which he is very proud of. I purpose writing about the Turkish war. My little daughter Elizabeth has been taken away from me, leaving me almost in womanly sorrow, so deeply am I grieved. I never dreamt that a father’s heart could have been so soft towards his children. Pray to God for me, and may you prosper in Him! MARTIN LUTHER .

P.S. — As to the Freybergerin, the escaped nun, being carried away, I have my own thoughts, so let it rest.
