Last week I submitted to the Academy a short paper in which I showed that very specific motions can be as- signed to Schrödinger’s wave mechanics, without any statistical interpretation.[3] It’s appearing imminently in the Sitz.

Perhaps you can review the matter sometime and let me know what you think about it and what the response could possibly be to the hiring of Dr. G.
