Møller corrects errors in his paper (in: kgl. Danske Vid. Selsk. Skr., nat.-math. Afd. : 24 (1946) no. 19). He notes implications of the Jost-ter Haar calculation for Heitler integral equation and Heitler's response.

Pauli writes that he and his wife decided to go to Stockholm on the occasion of this year's Nobel celebration, and he will give his lecture there on December 12th. There would be a good opportuniy to see the Bohrs in Copenhagen afterwards. He should be glad to hear as soon as possible whether this will be convenient to Bohr. He has read with great interest Bohr's paper "Problems of elementary particle physics". Joost also reported Bohr's excuse that the paper is too "dilettantic". Pauli is quite well aware of the complementarity between "dilettantic" and mathematical high-brow "fachmässig" way to treat problems particularly, if the "Fachleute" are unable to solve them. His impression of Bohr's paper was a strange one: he found the first paragraph very good and also the last one. He found the longer part in the middle not sufficiently connected with the initial and concluding questions.

Zonder titelPauli makes travel plans to Stockholm and Copenhagen in December 1946.
Zonder titelSnyder talks about his failure so far to obtain significant results as regards his theory in the light of Pauli's critical comments.
Zonder titelPauli comments a letter from Fierz regarding the unitary representations of the Lorentz group.
Zonder titelPauli asks for a reprint of Casimir's paper on microcospic reversibility in connection with a lecture on problems of the statistical theory of heat.
Zonder titelPauli replies to a question about eigen-states of particles with an "anomalous" magnetic moment in a magnetic field.
Zonder titelPauli makes some critical remarks on a letter by Fierz about the entropy change during a measurement. He adds a short reference to Bohr's view on this problem.
Zonder titelBohr was glad to receive Pauli's article which gives an excellent account of Einstein's pioneering work in quantum theory. Bohr does not know what to answer to Pauli's questions concerning some changes Bohr should make in his paper. The detailed account of the discussions which he had first planned turns out to be much too long for the occasion. Therefore, he is trying to confine himself to the general epistemological aspects of the attitude taken in the discussions, and he has started on a much shorter article which he hopes to have ready very soon. In a few days Bohr will write to Pauli again and tell him how things stand so that it can be decided how to make the best out of it all.
