(Regest.)
Response to No. 2139a. The Elector grants Luther's request, which he has made for Antonius Schönitz, and points out that it would be good if he brought the registers to him in the Electorate with the help of his friendship.
The original concept is in the Hauptstaatsarchiv zu Dresden, Locat 8948, fol. 69. Printed in Erl. Briefw., vol. X, p. 168.
No. 2141a.
Luther, Cruciger, G. Major and Melanchthon to the preachers at Nordhausen.
See St. Louis edition, vol. X, 744. There, this letter is without date, and we intended to insert it under no. 2200a, but by mistake, Col. 2030 left out this proof. (See the chronological register in this volume.) Now we see from the Erl. Briefw., vol. X, p. 173, that the letter is to be classified under the above time determination, since, because Melanchthon and Cruciger co-signed the letter, the university had not yet moved to Jena.
No. 2169a.
