(1) Dine bemærkninger om forholdet imellem diskussionerne dengang og sådanne som vi overværede i efteråret ved Solvay-mødet i Brüssel morede mig, men jeg er også enig i, at forskellen ikke er så stor, og vi er alle dybt interesseret i at høre om den bekræftelse, som de seneste forsøg har givet på dine slutninger vedrørende den relative paritet af S og L partiklerne. Vi glæder os til at høre nærmere om dine almindelige synspunkter, når du til foråret kommer til København. (2)

(1) Your remarks comparing the discussions then and such as those we experienced in the autumn at the Solvay Meeting in Brussels amused me, but I also agree that the difference is not so great, and we are all profoundly interested to hear about the confirmation that the most recent experiments have given of your conclusions as regards the relative parity of the S and L particles. We look forward to hearing more about your general views when you come to Copenhagen in the spring. (2)
