#2485-to Nicolaus Specht on marriage

Grace and peace in Christ! I wish for you and your bride happiness, my dear Nicolaus, and pray to the LOrd, that He will be with you with the grace of His blessing and preserve you to everlasting life.However my health is such and also my activities so great for me that I cannot be present so I am sending through Magister Antoninus a little and slight gift of remembrance , however it is the picture of the holy man, Johann Hus, which to you will be of little outward (ex materia) value but which will do well for your heart.Be it right well with you in Christ. On the the Thursday after Nicolai (12 Dec.) Anno 1538. Martin Luther,D.
