Summary

After a short paragraph on two Tocharian A text passages, Sieg expresses grave concern about an issue raised by Siegling in a recent postcard, which is threatening to impede their progress on the Tocharian A text edition. In response, Sieg proposes to travel to Berlin in order spend three weeks with Siegling collaborating on the project in person (after spending the first 8 days hunting fowl). Finally, he expresses his optimism about the progression of the war and mentions his recent to Richard Fick, who is currently serving in the military.
