To Nicolas von Amsdorf letter 12 - Martin Luther

TO NICOLAS AMSDORF

Luther introduces Barnes to Amsdorf. September 4, 1531.

Grace and peace! I commend to you this Englishman, Herr Dr. Anton, my Amsdorf, for he passes your way on his journey to Lubeck. You can hear of us from him. Simon Hafritz is here, and I do not know in what nest to place this bird, for you gentlemen of the Treasury have endowed his numerous family scantily. But Luther has a broad back, and will bear this burden also. Thanks for supplying the wants of the others you sent back here. The Lord be with you, and pray for me.

MARTIN LUTHER . (Schutze.)
