Heisenberg writes about Bohr's optimism as regards Goudsmit's theory and gives some additional comments on it.

Heisenberg writes about the connection of the singulet-triplet distance with Pauli's exclusion principle.

Heisenberg is preparing the manuscript on He. He writes about the problem of the molecule and makes critical remarks about the physical part of Schrödinger's theory. The connection with De Broglie is not yet discovered.

Heisenberg objects to Pauli's analogy between quantum mechanics on the one hand and quantum electrodynamics and classical Maxwell theory on the other hand. There is not only Maxwell's equations must be quantized, but also the De Broglie Waves. He explains his ideas on the intuitive meaning of quantum mechanics: 1) position of the electron 2) "orbit" of the electron. He agrees with Dirac that their experiments introduce statistics 3) on the "velocity" of the electron. 4)the transition from micro- to macro-mechanics. He writes that every new observation defines a new state. There are a few examples as illustrations.

Heisenberg writes about Pauli's and Jordan's preliminary considerations about quantum electrodynamics.

Heisenberg writes about his work on ferromagnetism. There are three approximations: 1)free electrons with Fermi-statistics, 2)Bloch's approximation of lattice potentials, 3)Heitler-London approximation of exchange of valency electrons of two atoms in the third approximation.

Heisenberg writes about Pauli's remarks on the H theorem in the case of the interaction of several oscillators and the connection with Dirac's theory.

Heisenberg writes about calculations about the theory of holes and on the self-energy of a particle. He replies to Pauli's question about the scattering of neutrons by protons and the difference between exchange forces and regular forces. He writes on the decay of the neutron and on his discussion with Bloch about the spin of the neutron being opposite to that of the proton.

Heisenberg writes about charge density and finiteness of self-energy.

Heisenberg gives detailed calculations to show that their simple method of incorporating the theory of holes into quantum electrodynamics leads to good results.
