Summary

Sieg is unsatisfied with Siegling and Schulze's progress on the Tocharian A grammar and expresses his worries that other (particularly French) scholars may beat them to it. He proposes to come to Berlin in order to collaborate on the project in person but is having difficulties securing funds for the journey. He therefore suggests to procure a free copy of their text edition from the publisher and sell it to the library of the University of Kiel. The remaining letter contains a discussion of Tocharian B personal endings, as well as the paradigms of the two roots käm- “come” and länt- “leave”.
