# Lehre und Wehre_St. Louis Missouri_October 1862_S309 # AI translation — CHI Digital Archive (demonstration) A Contribution to the Improvement of the Editions of Luther's Works. 309 The comparison with No. 428, Vol. 54, p. 342, makes it probable that Letter No. 416 is addressed to Johannes von Riedtesel. He is called "Gevatter" [godfather-kinsman] because he is godfather to Luther's little son Martin. At No. 424, Vol. 54, p. 334, it is stated that it is to be found in Walch at XVI, 225, whereas Vol. 65, p. 54, gives XVI, 2225. Is it duplicated in Walch, or is this a misprint in the Erlangen edition? At No. 270, the heading is missing: "of March 1, 1529." Corrections to the Text, Supplements, and Conjectures for Volume 54. Vol. 54, p. 60, lines 17 and 18 from the bottom, a "mich" [me] is superfluous. Vol. 54, p. 93, line 19 from the bottom, a word is missing at the end of the line, perhaps "anzeigen" [to indicate]. Vol. 54, p. 195, line 2 from the top, after "wiewohl" [although], "ich" [I] is missing. Vol. 54, p. 197, line 1 from the top, instead of "Schmerze zorecht Geselle," read "schwerze zoricht Geselle," that is, "black, angry fellow." Vol. 54, p. 200, line 7 from the top, instead of "bessern" [to improve], probably "beißen" [to bite]. Vol. 54, p. 319, line 2 from the top, instead of "Weih," probably "Weis'" [wise]. Vol. 54, p. 324, line 4 from the bottom, after "gethan" [done], something is missing, perhaps "aufnehmen" [to take up]. — III. Notes and Explanations to Volume 54.
