Grace and peace! Be greeted, be greeted, be greeted, my dear Michael! I have nothing else that I can write; but so that you do not complain that I write nothing to you I have at least this "be greeted" which I wanted to write to you and announce at the same time that we will soon be coming and visit your church and the church loving children (perhaps Michael's family}, if God so wills. Be it well with you in the LOrd.1531. Martin Luther.
NOTES: ML has helped Stiefel to situations in various parishes from time to time. I think he will make a definite forecast as to the time of the end (1534) of the world which will get him in manifold trouble.
Michael is the inventor of logrithms also.
"sei gegruszt" might be better "You are greeted" or simply "Greetings!". What do you think.
The visitation of the Saxon congregations, begun in 1529, continues.
