To Veit Dietrich.
Although there was nothing I could have written, my dear Veit, I did not want him to come without a letter from me, since this Doctor N. Pflug wandered to you. You see to it that you let him be ordered to you and also recommend him to all others in the best way. He is extremely worthy of everyone's favor and honor because of his righteousness and godliness.

against which the Magistri nostri (Nostrollas) have sent you. I am at a special work against them, 1) but my health and my age inhibit me, and one business is prevented by the other. Against the Pope, likewise about the Zwinglians should be written, but one is not enough for all. Greetings to D. Wenceslaus and Mr. Osiander respectfully. I would have written to others, but you see my occupations, and you know the age. Be well in the Lord; pray for me, and greet Baumgärtnern. September 23, 1545.
Mart. Luther.
