Pauli letter collection: letter to Niels Bohr

Pauli writes that it was an exciting surprise that the Nobel prize was awarded to him this year. The decision whether or not he should go to Stockholm on December 10th was really not easy. Considering all circumstances of the present situation, particularly the possibility of such a trip delaying his naturalization. After having heard that Stern and Rabi postponed their participation to the ceremony until next year, Pauli decided to do the same. His naturalization will presumably be completed in January and it is his plan to start his trip to Europe with his wife shortly after. He has to go to Zürich and would also want to visit Dublin and England.
