Pauli thanks Weyl for his book on the philosophy of mathematics and natural science. He makes two critical remarks: 1) It is not correct to connect Leibniz with the principle of exclusion. 2) There is no asymmetry of the past-future relation in spontaneous radiation processes, but the concept of spontaneity needs a better definition.

In this letter, Pauli gives further remarks on Weyl's parallel between Leibniz's principle and the exclusion principle. He also writes on Jung's synchronicity and its relation to causal events. It's said that the "elimination of all uncontrolable factors necessarily leads to destruction of the significance of synchronicity".
