Heisenberg writes about the Uhlenbeck-Konopinski theory of Beta-spectra and a possible relativistic invariant formulation. He also writes about Bothe's refutation of a paper by Shankland, and about a simple model of a non-linear wave theory without universal constant, except c, containing only a pure number to be identified with e$^{2}$/(h.c.).

Heisenberg replies to Pauli's letter, which convinced him that the infinity of the energy values is unavoidable, and that this is connected with shower production. Probably the whole quantum theory of wave fields is wrong. Neumann's suggestion is a possible way out of the dilemma.
Heisenberg, WernerHeisenberg thinks that his description of the lowest state (vacuum) is correct, but he does not yet understand how particles as higher states result from his mathematics.
Heisenberg, WernerHeisenberg comments on the latest results on showers and talks about possible reasons for the high penetrability of cosmic radiation and calculations on wave-quantization. He writes against the cut-off-method and gives an introduction to the universal length in a new operator. The question remains whether this can lead to a relativistic and convergent theory.
Heisenberg, WernerBhabha's and Heitler's assumptions confirm Heisenberg's idea of the necessity for introducing a universal length. He writes about difficulties in the interpretation of cosmic radiation experiments with the Yukawa theory.
Heisenberg, WernerHeisenberg thinks, after receipt of Yukawa's paper, that his Hamiltonian is better than that of Kemmer or Bhabha. He writes on the Beta-instability of the yukon. He sends Pauli a short paper on the limitations of quantum mechanics and asks for his comments.
Heisenberg, WernerHeisenberg writes on the impossibility of measuring the power law exp (-k.r)/r at large distances and about Stark's article in "Nature".
Heisenberg, WernerHeisenberg explains certain formulae in the manuscript on quantum electrodynamics. He replies to questions by Pauli on the symmetry of conservation laws, on a stronger approximation to Pauli's and Jordan's formalism and on the meaning of certain values for the self-energy of particles.
Heisenberg, WernerHeisenberg writes about the "Vertauschungsrelation" in the theory of holes.
Heisenberg, WernerHeisenberg makes some remarks on Fermi's paper. He writes on his matrix elements for pair creation and gives some calculations about the exchange energy of proton and neutron.
