The letter describes a problem of classical theory of harmonics. It talks about Pauli's calculations on Bohr's He-Model. He looks forward to his work in Copenhagen.

Pauli speaks about his calculations on the thermic equilibrium between radiation and free electrons, about scientific life in Hamburg and about the German translation of Bohr's Nobel-lecture.

The letter talks about Pauli's visit to Copenhagen in April and about the progress he made in the kinetic of heat conduction in solids.
