To the honorable,forward-looking (fuersichtigen?)Herr Hans Honold in Augsburg
my favored, good friend.
Grace and peace in Christ. Honorable, forward-looking, dear Herr and
friend! I have here from you two boxes of candy for which I earnestly thank you.
It is true that during half of the past summer I have endured the whistling and rustling in the head. From where it comes to me I do not know as I
have been moderate in almost everything. I think it is the black, angry fellow from
hell who does not want to allow me to be in his kingdom on earth and it is likely that God will soon help me out,Amen; with grace, Amen. I am sorry that
God's Word has been silent and vacated in Augsburg. It is not a
very good sign. God help you and all of us, Amen. From Coburg on the second of October, 1530. Martinus LutheR.
Notes: Speaking of a letter to Spengler regarding Glaser it is in Vol. xvi #1709.
Strangely the original of the same is in Coburg and dated 1539.
The rendition of Burkhardt has been corrected by Erlangen.
ML has taken to write Luther with a capital "R" at the end.
