Summary

Sieg is writing a second letter to Siegling's wife shortly after her husband's death, expressing his concerns for her after receiving no answer to his first letter. He inquires about the cause of Siegling's sudden passing, as well as his nachlass, which crucially includes his near-finished manuscript of their edition of the Udānālaṅkāra fragments. He further lays out his plans to transfer the Tocharian material from Berlin to Göttingen, where will continue to work on the text editions with his students Ernst Waldschmidt and Wolfgang Krause.
