Pauli thanks Bohr for his letter of December, and informs him of the invitation to Oppenheimer to come to Zurich and give some lectures. Pauli says he will probably come to Copenhagen for a conference 6-10 July, and mentions his exchange of letters about physics with Dyson.

This letter is Pauli's reply to Bohm's letter of the second november 1951. He explains the necessity for the linearity of the Schrödinger-equation, and objects to an introduction of a direct coupling between the psi-function and Bohm's hidden parameters.

Comments and calculations on a lemma by Stückelberg related to statistical mechanics.

Remarks on the classical H-theorem on critical recapitualtion of ch. VII, 79-82 of Boltzmann's "Vorlesung über Gastheorie", vol. II.

Pauli thanks Bhabha for his letter of the 26th March. He gives developments about meson and proton dispersion and comments on Bethe's latest work on meson theory and nuclear power and also his interpretation based on Fierz's study of Blau and Wambacher's results. Pauli sees a solution in new particles that have been observed in cosmic radiation. Heitlers theory seems to be unsatisfying. Pauli is working on a theory on high speed particles. He adds some remarks on the war and some physicists.

Pauli writes that there could be some possibilities of a position in the USA for Bhabha. He is publishing his Solvay report of 1939 in the Rev. Mod. Phys. Observations on Christy and Kusaka's calculations on the development of the shower and the pseudo scalar meson theory.

Pauli made some additions to Bhabha's paper for the Bohr Festschrift. He says it is impossible to quantize the Bhabha equation according to Fermi-Dirac statistics without using an indefinite metric in Hilbert-space. Pauli says he will know his future plans better in six months, including the possibility of a visit to the Tata-Institute (India).

Pauli thanks him for his congratulations concerning the Nobel ceremony and he reports on the physics meeting in New York at the end of January. Pauli is going on a trip with his wife in four weeks to Europe.

Pauli confirms that there will be a physics meeting in Basel in September. Schwinger, Rabi, Fermi, Cockcroft, Dyson and others have promised to come. Pauli is going to Princeton in November, but he will be back in May 1950. He gives some comments on his own latest work.
