Pauli sends a letter of congratulation on Born's 60th birthday. He makes some remarks on quantized field theory and on meson theory in particular. He adds some personal remarks on colleagues in Switzerland, Germany and the U.S.A.

Pauli invites Born to contribute to an issue of the Rev. of Mod. Phys. in honour of Bohr's 60th birthday.

Pauli refers to Einstein's article in the de Broglie volume and rejects his conclusion that the results of quantum physics are not complete.

Pauli writes that Einstein's philosophical point of view is not "deterministic", as Born believes, but "realistic". He explains it for the case of a macro-body and refutes part of it. He adds remarks classical and quantum mechanics.

Pauli continues his critical discussion of Einstein's philosophy of physics. Pauli is against his "realistic" metaphysics.

Pauli writes about Weyl's death, on December 8. He mentions Weyl's 70th birthday and Pauli's address to this occasion.

Pauli's letter deals with contributions, received and not received from physicists of various countries to the Bohr-issue. He talks about an invitation to visit Russia.

Pauli refers to a discussion he had with Born, Klein and Kirkwood. He also describes his own objections to a talk given by Born during a conference in Florence (properties of a certain operator). The letter touches briefly on other matters, including Born's theory of reciprocity.

Pauli declines Born's proposition to become a member of a "political party with a red stamp" or to sign "any open letter". Instead of taking part to a East-West world division, Pauli would more encourage a synthesis between asiatic wisdom and occidental sciences, which is more application oriented. He gives some thoughts on the behavior of a scientist on political questions. He also talks about his interest in Fröhlich's theory of supraconductivity.

Pauli returns to a problem discussed at the Florence conference concerning irreversibility and the H-theorem.
