In this letter, Pauli makes some remarks on Jordan's cosmology and the ergodic theorem in quantum mechanics.

Pauli wrote this letter on a boat, travelling to the USA. He gives patterns of thoughts and writes on dreams as bridges between the individual ego and objectively given events. He adds some pessimistic remarks on the state of physics.

Pauli renews their discussion of the H-theorem, as it is formulated by Fierz.

Pauli writes on some points of discussion for the forthcoming meeting with Fierz in Basel.

Pauli writes about one of the letters he wrote to Weizsäcker (a copy is attached) concerning the "Bohr-exegis", especially on complementarity, and the "unification of opposites". In connection with this, Pauli explains the story of the Danish order of the elephant, which has been given to Bohr.

Pauli replies to Fierz's letter of the 17 October 1956. He gives further details concerning the discussion of beta-disintegration.

Pauli makes some additions to his previous letter and sends the calculations of certain terms describing the emission e-+ v+ or e+ + v-. An appendix refers to Pauli's paper in the Bohr-Festschrift.

Pauli sends an additional remark about the paper by four Japanese, published in: Progress of theoretical physics: 6 (1951) on the possibiliy of avoiding indefinite metric in Hilbert-space in quantum electrodynamics.

Pauli continues to write about the paper written by four Japanese physicists published in: Progress of theoretical physics: 6 (1951) and on a book by Synge.

Pauli writes on the recent developments in connection with the violation of parity. As appendix: jocular announcement of the death of parity, signed by e, $\mu$, v written the 19 January 1957.
