To George Spalatin letter 31 - Martin Luther

TO GEORGE SPALATIN

Luther writes from Wittenberg on his recovery. March 21, 1537.

To the highly esteemed Herr George Spalatin, Archbishop of Meissen.

Grace and peace in Christ! At last I write you, dear Spalatin, having for many days observed Sabbatical repose with my pen. I now begin to eat and drink, although my legs can scarcely carry my body. I

have lost more strength than I could have believed, but with rest and warm compresses I hope to regain it. My Kathie greets you respectfully, and regrets that she brought nothing for your dear daughters, but is having little books bound to send as a remembrance, hoping you will take the will for the deed. She is always extolling your benevolence. May you prosper in Christ, and pray for us.

MARTIN LUTHER . (Walch, 21. 1276.)
