Sommerfeld expresses his satisfaction about Pauli's paper on closed electronic shells and about his principle of 4 quantum numbers.

Sommerfeld expresses his admiration over Pauli's "Handbuch-article on Quanta". He says that Schrödinger's wave mechanics does not yet solve the riddle of quanta.

Sommerfeld talks about his article in the Planck issue of Annalen Phys. and about his interest in non-integer quantum numbers. He is optimistic about the future of physics and thinks that someone will soon understand the elementary particles, the Pauli-principle and the divergencies. He is less optimistic about the future of civilization.

Sommerfeld thanks Pauli for his article in Naturwissenschaften in honour of Sommerfeld's 80th birthday.

Sommerfeld suggests that Pauli writes a review on his "optics".

Snyder replies to Pauli's letter of the 22 June 1946 and explains the gist of his theory on quantizated space-time.

Snyder talks about his failure so far to obtain significant results as regards his theory in the light of Pauli's critical comments.

The letter encloses a manuscript of a paper on "quantized space-time", to be published in the Physical Review.
