To the Town council of Gottingen letter 3 - Martin Luther

TO THE TOWN COUNCIL OF GOTTINGEN March 28, 1531.

Grace and peace, honored sirs! The licentiate of whom you wrote is now beyond your reach, having been called to Goslar. As I told you, such people are scarce and precious, and will become more so, and I know of no one sufficiently versed in the Saxon tongue to suit you at present. But I have discussed it with your messenger, and he will try, with a letter from me, to arrange matters with one Cyriac at Cothen, who till now has preached at Zerbst. If he’ll accept I’ll promote the call.

I commit you to God. MARTIN LUTHER . (De Wette.)
