Pauli writes of his reading of the paper by Lee published in: Physical review, 95, and his correspondence about it with Källén. As appendix he includes a quotation from Max Abraham on a doctoral student.

Pauli acknowledges Lüders' comments on his Bohrfestschrift article. He writes of his study of Lee's paper (in: Phys. Rev. : 95 (1954), pp.1329) and of some improvements he could make on it.
Sans titrePauli writes about processes in Lee's theory which give rise to continuous spectra. He also writes on the elimination of infinities and the possibility of avoiding infinite metric.
Sans titrePauli comments on Van der Waerden's thesis that scientific thinking was originally "down-to-earth" and then developed a connection with mysticism.
Sans titrePauli makes further remarks on additional comments from Lüders on his Bohrfestschrift article.
Sans titrePauli talks about his final views on the formulation avoiding infinities. He is against the tendency of Källén to use cut-off methods. He has a suggestion for a joint publication "on the mathematical structure of Lee's example in renormalizable field theory". He writes a synopsis of the suggested paper.
Sans titreLüders replies to Pauli's letter of 3 Dec as regards the significance of "hermiticity" for his calculations.
Sans titrePauli makes remarks about Lee's paper, especially on the consequences of coupling-constant renormalization. He talks about the occurrence of negative probabilities.
Sans titrePauli replies to Schafroth's letter of the 9th December 1954. He makes some "pedagogical" advice about contacts with colleagues. He makes critical comments on Schafroth's paper on "supra-conductivity of a charged ideal Bose-gas". He talks about a physical error in this paper.He agrees with Schafroth that the Bose-gas should be given more attention.
Sans titreWightman criticizes Pauli's statement about "Wigner school" (see Pauli, Bohr-Festschrift, 1955, p.37). He works out inversions and compares Wigner and Pauli "schools". He comments on Schwinger's paper.
