To Nicolas Hausmann letter 3 - Martin Luther

TO NICOLAS HAUSMANN About his literary work. October 14, 1526.

Grace and peace! I have nothing new, dear Nicolas, to send you, for the little book about war is not through the press yet. I intend beginning Zechariah after Habbakuk and Jonah are finished. Ecclesiastes gives us an immense deal of trouble, just as if he did not wish to be read, and yet was compelled to submit. It has been much too long in obscurity. You are right in saying the world is going to ruin. But I hope the day of the coming of the Great God is approaching, for we hear only of fires, murders, and fury over all.

May all go well with you, and pray for me. MARTIN LUTHER .
