Pauli thanks Jauch for Jauch's and Rohrlich's book and says that he likes it. He gives some comments on a few passages. He writes about recent publications on field quantization.

Pauli writes about the necessity for continuation of his leave from Zürich. He writes about the possibilities for non-American physicists to get jobs in the U.S.A., because many Americans are busy with defense work. He writes about his paper with Dancoff on strong coupling in the pseudo-scalar meson theory and about his correspondance with Dirac on his efforts to remove divergences in quantum electrodynamics. He comments on Scherrer's attitude to theoretical physics.

Pauli thinks that Lopes' results on the interaction energy-matrix in momentum space are correct. He comments on a paper by Schönberg. He agrees to Jauch's plan to work on the life-time of isobars. He writes about recent results of investigations in Sweden.

Pauli mentions the recent results about the magnetic moment of the free neutron and adds a lengthy theoretical comment to this.

Pauli writes about longitudinal photons. The principle of "renormalization" of charge and mass works satisfactorily only in special interactions. Another question: will it be necessary to modify the space-time concept for small dimensions?

Pauli is looking forward to reading Jauch's forthcoming book on electrodynamics. He would prefer not to read the book in the proof-state, for this means a certain responsibility.

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 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".
