To the very beloved Herr Nicolaus Hausmann, the servant of God, his superior in the LOrd.
Grace and peace in Christ! I have, worthy man, recently written to you and very much requested that you might return to me but you have answered nothing I fear that you have not received my letter. For this reason I again request that you for the sake of Christ return to me as soon as possible. Here you have a new, vacant little room
awaiting you and set up and needs only that you come. Do not doubt that you will be a burden but rather an enlightenment and consolation and would to God that you would remain with me your entire life. It would not be difficult but easy to support you and a good opportunity to renounce the unthankful and sulky people for your sake whom one might not otherwise renounce. This very same thing thing the pastor in Buchholz will tell you orally. On this account, come immediately and do not delay. I am expecting you and will welcome you with joy; also do not be concerned about the money. Be it well with you in Christ. The Wednesday after Elizabeth (22. Nov.) Anno 1531. M.L.
Note: Luther sent the first invitation on October 31. See #1851.
