To the attention of Frau Katherin D. Luther in Wittenberg.
Grace and peace in Christ. My dear Kaethe! Yesterday I have written and sent along a letter from my most gracious Lord (Elector Johann) wherein you can perceive how it goes with ours in Augsburg. Also, if God grants the grace, within fourteen days we will be with you at home although I do not think our case will remain uncondemned. No one has the power to prevent that. They badly want the monks and nuns to again be in the cloisters. Yet, Rietesel has written over here that he hopes that one will depart from Augsburg with peace in every alley (everywhere?). Would that God would grant that which would be a great grace. That would benefit everyone as the Turk is about to come down on us. More you will hear from Hornung. Herewith, be all commended to God, Amen.On the Saturday after Matthew (24 Sept) Martinus LutheR
Notes:Maybe ML and Kaethe can go to the same cloister. Hornung is Wolf Hornung the abandoned husband bereft of his wife by Joachim of Brandenburg. See many earlier letters.

Good job, Dad!
Oh yeah, I was thinking--if you could add the year of the letters, it would help people like me be able to put understand the context better.
