Pauli thanks Bohr for his last letter and for the enclosed page by Rosenfeld, which he is now returning. He agrees that there is an elementary error on this page, which he explains further.

Pauli writes about to their talk on the connection between the concepts of "God" and "knowing" or "knowledge". It is true that such a connection exists in the official "confession" of the Christian Churches, but besides it there was always a more hidden tradition of a God who is only dreaming (and also brings forth creation in a kind of dreaming state).

Pauli thanks Bohr for his letter of the 7th August and he is glad to inform him that they got a stipend of 3000 Swiss francs for Alder as a contribution to the costs for his stay in Copenhagen. Pauli hopes that Bohr can get an additional contribution which will enable him to be in Copenhagen for 6 months starting about October the first. Pauli has had interesting ongoing discussions with Møller-Kristensen and with Peierls on the formfactor theories. Like Bohr, Pauli thinks it unlikely that they will make real progress this way, but it seems to Pauli to be of interest to learn a little more about where formally the limitations of these models become obvious. Pauli received from Schrödinger the proofs of a paper (British Journal of Philosophy of Science) of which Pauli was unable to make any sense. It is in a way even more empty than Bohm's attempts to resume de Broglies old wave theory.

Pauli writes about his trip to Copenhagen and Leyden. He sends a manuscript of his lecture "Wahrscheinlichkeit und Physik" which he has given at a congress on probability and statistics in Zürich. He also mentions de Broglie's new paper.

Pauli was glad to get Bohr's message that he will make a short stop in Zürich. Pauli gives some organisational information.

Pauli comments on Bohr's lecture on "Unity of knowledge". He differs from Bohr in his view on the degree of detachment in science. He explains his opinion with reference in physics, psychology and biology. He speaks about a remark made by Bohr on psychoanalytical treatment on the role of the unconscious and Jung's school.

Pauli asks Bohr about the conference in Lindau. He is not sure if he wants to take part or not. Partly because he is travelling a lot and because he dislikes the publicity around these lectures. He expresses his great interest in Bohr's activities.

Pauli writes about the little progress he made in his work on supra-conductivity.

Pauli talks about the offers made to Felix Bloch for a post in Göttingen. He urges Bohr to publish his considerations on the spin of the electron.
