To Philip Melanchthon letter 9 - Martin Luther

TO PHILIP MELANCHTHON

Luther speaks of the pilgrimage to Coburg. June 2, 1530.

Yesterday Hans Reinecke from Mansfeld and George Romer were with me, and today

Argula von Staufen. Now that so many are finding their way here, I intend either not to let it be known I am at home or go out for the day, so that people may think I have left. Pray try to prevent people coming here. I write in Johannine haste, for I shall remain hidden. They say the bishops will succeed in postponing the Reichstag till, at least, the provisions are all consumed, compelling the people to return home. The Emperor is using every device to prevent the Elector of Treves coming to the Diet. Farewell. MARTIN LUTHER .
