Grace and peace in Christ. Most-illustrious, high-born Prince, most gracious Lord! Wolf Hornung is also considering improving the city of Kemberg with a little house and has purchased 40 stumps of wood at the Suelicher office. I plead submissively with E.C.F.G. that from the same office 30 would be graciously added because it is not worth very much money. E.C.F.G. will well know how graciously to deal with him since I am appealing to E.C.F.G. in so many writings and as everyone is coming to have his case moved forward by me. God strengthen E.C.F.G. with His Grace,Amen. The 1st of June 1531. E.C.F.G.'s obedient Martinus Luther.
Notes: "Your Electoral Princely Grace" is always abbreviated: "E.C.F.G."
Not Wolf Hornung again! Helping Wolf might get Johann in troubl with the Elector of Brandenburg who appropriated Wolf's wife for himself.
