Scope and content
Pauli sends a few informal lines in answer to Bohr's letter of the 3rd March. Meanwhile he has seen Delbrück and received from him a report about his meeting with Bohr in Copenhagen. He said that Bohr changed his mind on these biological questions soon after he had sent his letter to Pauli. This seems to Pauli quite satisfactory as he is now rather convinced that there is no causal connection between the happenings in a gene and the environment (milieu) of the organism. Now Pauli has spoken with Delbrück and also with other biologists he sees much better where the real problems are. Meanwhile another of their common friends, Otto Stern, passed through New York on his trip from California to Europe. Bohr will soon see him in Copenhagen.
