#1750-To Johann Purgolt, mayor in Eisenach

Grace and peace. Dear Herr and Friend! I have written to your son-in-law (Heinrich Scholl-see #1749) that it is the opinion of Philip and myself that it is important for him to stay at the school though they have previously sought another from us which we have postponed and want to do so further. Regarding the permission to brew (Bierloos) you should negotiate this with the authority but we have not denied it to him; if the envy does not die out with time your son-in-law might well be permitted to go elsewhere and this I would be glad to help in and advise as I am able. Herwith, be commended to God, Amen. 12 January 1531. Martinus Luther.
