To the highly honorable man, Cyriacus N., at the castle in Koethen servant of the Word, his brother. "To Coten at the castle, to the Preacher."
Grace and peace! The Council at Goettingen demanded of me a preacher,dear brother, who at the same time should be superintendent; I promised to the same Basilius Schumann but he has been called to Goslar. Therefore, if you think it good, talk it over with this envoy from Goettingen. The compensation seems adequate enough as it is annually 70fl. If you therefore can move the senate that you accept this, it is good; if not, you yourself should answer and give the Goettingen Council your opinion. Be it well with you in the LOrd. Wittenberg on the Tuesday after Judica (28 March) 1531. Martin Luther.
