To Paul Scherrer [Berlin,] 24 February 1926 In reply to Abs. 324, suspects that Scherrer has made false assumptions about the cases of equal probability. The theory cannot be applied at all to rotation only, at most to rota- tion and translation together. But even then it is not clear whether the cell distribution is the same for molecules of differing rotational quantum states or whether this distribution is to be taken as independent for each such kind of molecule. If one assumes that the gas is more diluted, nothing changes in the quantum Boltzmann distribution in the case of rotation. AKS. [80 803]. A chemical formula in an unknown hand is at the bottom of the verso. 332. From Thomas C. Hodson London, 25 February 1926 On behalf of the editor of the Encyclopædia Britannica, encloses the manuscript of Doc. 148, and returns Doc. 147.

From Deutsches Landes-Comité für die Enzyklopädie des Judentums Berlin, March 1926 Circular letter, sends a sample copy of the Enzyklopädie des Judentums and details re- garding the current state of the project.
