To George Spalatin letter 29 - Martin Luther

TO GEORGE SPALATIN June 10, 1536.

Grace and peace in Christ! This K. Zimmermann, who has either been banished or fled, begs us to find a situation for him. But as poor people come here from all quarters, there is no vacant post, so he has begged for an introduction to you. I hereby warmly commend him, as he is a native of Altenburg. We have nothing new to relate, except that a terrible tragedy has taken place in England. About your Asmodi (house-devil) I shall write as soon as I can. Meantime may Christ enable you to bear with her patiently. Greet your dear wife, and tell her we think most kindly of her, and hope she will bear the motherly or rather step-motherly reproofs patiently. Things will be sure to come right at last; and

those who have calumniated her will be covered with confusion. May you prosper in Christ with all who belong to you. Amen. MARTIN LUTHER . (Walch, 21. 1272.)
