Bohr hopes that Pauli received his letter of May 16th and hopes that he is not too unsatisfied with the cursory character of Bohr's remarks. When writing Bohr was unable to find Pauli's letter on his discussions with Stern. Now this letter reappeared and Bohr wishes to add that he was aware of the various points that Pauli mentioned. Therefore Bohr feels it dubious to look for more explicit connections between thermodynamics and the special observational problems in quantum mechanics. He is prepared to hear that Pauli has something far more positive in mind and he is eagerly awaiting Pauli's reactions.

Bohr's reply to Pauli's letter of the 15th November 1948 relates to an article in "Dialectica". He also writes about a discussion he had with Van Hove and about letters by Born and his own scripts concerning the mass problem.

About Bohr's and Rosenfeld's work on measurability and Heisenberg's calculations.

Bohr discusses Goudsmit and Uhlenbeck's work published in: Nature : 117 (1926), pp.264. Thomas has explained the missing factor of 2 by calculating the relativistic motion in: Nature : 117 (1926), pp.514. Thomas' note is enclosed.

Bohr is convinced of the significance of Thomas' paper in : "Nature : 117 (1926), pp. 514" and asks for a reply to his questions before reading the proofs of Thomas' paper. He also hopes to see Pauli in Copenhagen in April.

Bohr agrees with Pauli and Jordan's attitude in their note on quantum electrodynamics. The apparently contradictory demands of superposition and individuality concern not opposing but complementary aspects of nature. Bohr also agrees with Pauli's criticism of de Broglie's work. Bohr has not been able to finish his note and is now working on his Como lecture in: Nat. suppl. : 121 (1928), pp .580 and in: Naturwissenschaften : 16 (1928)". He looks forward to see Pauli in Como.

This letter encloses a manuscript by Darwin. Bohr looks forward to meeting Pauli in Como.

About a manuscript in progress by Bohr and Rosenfeld on "measure problems", Pauli's remarks on a manuscript of a conference by Bohr during the Solvay congress, works on atom structure published in the 'Physical Review'.

Bohr comments on a book by A Pauly (1905) on "Darwinism and Lamarchism". Bohr gives his attitude to the great progress in biology and psychology made in recent time, in the light of the results of atomic physics as regards the description of phenomene.
