Pauli reports on the stops during his journey to Zurich, Powell's doubts about Amaldi's results, problems of Wentzel and Villars with "strong coupling theory", and Dirac's latest views. He criticizes Gustafson's work, Peng's removal of divergences in meson theory and Heisenberg's S-matrix theory.

Pauli discusses the implication of forward neutron scattering for meson theory. He describes the attempt to obtain relativistic theory of deuteron quadrupole moment, and reports on his trip to Harvard.

Pauli discusses about Ning Hu's difficulties applying the relativistic Rosenfeld-Moller theory, the work of Wentzel and Lopes on "strong coupling" as explanation of Amaldi's results, and the war-time fates of Casimir, Kahn and Amaldi.

Pauli replies to a letter of the 25 July 1954. He explains his critical attitude to ontology but he conceeds that ontology reflects an intrinsic need of man to overcome the tension between the "Internal" and the "External".

Jost is interested in Janner's problem. Pauli is going to lecture on it.

Pauli suggests a dissertation on H-theorem in quantum statistics and he summarizes Fierz latest work on it.

Pauli has returned from the USA and he plans to consider Janner's work.

Pauli writes from Princeton to Jauch in Zürich about Jauch's calculations on electron scattering. He asks questions about life in the Institute.

Pauli expresses his satisfaction about Jauch's theoretical work on electron scattering, but he doubts the experimental results. He writes about the latest results of cosmic ray research.

Pauli welcome's Jauch's impending appointment in Princeton University and gives advice as to the negotiations about working conditions. Enough time for research is vital. He comments on the difficult paper by Dirac. He suggests a problem in the same area (application to "infra-red catastrophe"). He writes of his plans for a joint investigation with Kusaka about application of the strong-coupling formalism on a mixture of mesons of zero spin and spin 1 (Rosenfeld-Möller theory).
