Luther recommends Erasmus Alber to her as a preacher.
The original is at Freiberg in Saxony. Printed by Burkhardt, p. 365.
Grace and peace in Christ our Lord. Most Serene, Highborn Princess, Gn. Lady! It seems to me that E. F. G. should lack and desire a preacher. If this were the case, and I would not be concerned that E. F. G. would be hurried by M. Eisleben's practices with one who would be his own thing, which I would not like to see at all, because the longer the more he appears to be our enemy in Wittenberg, as I complain about him every day. But since D. Erasmus Alber has just come to Wittenberg and is free, Ew. F. G. would be well provided for with such a man, since they need a preacher. I want to inform E. F. G. of this before we arrange the said doctor elsewhere, since he is a learned, pious man of his. Herewith I command E. F. G. to the dear God in his kingdom's grace, amen. Saturday after Nicolai [11 Dec.] 1540.
