Summary

The letter mostly consists of Sieg reporting on the contents of a letter he just received from Wilhelm Schulze. Schulze confirms that Sieg and Siegling's joined edition of THT 107 constitutes an appropriate contribution for the upcoming festschrift for F. W. K. Müller. Schulze further reports that he is currently too busy to work on their Tocharian A grammar but intends to join Sieg and Siegling in Göttingen in September in order to work on the project together, provided he can secure the necessary funding. Schulze has further discovered three new types of palatalization in Tocharian B. (/p/ -> /py/, /m/ -> /my/, /w/ -> /y/). Finally, Sieg briefly remarks on his wife currently recovering from an illness.
