Blackett, F. Bloch (1932), Niels Bohr (1934-1936); H. Casimir (1929); Paul Dirac (1928-1936); Paul Ehrenfest (1926-1932); T. Ehrenfest (daughter of P. Ehrenfest, 1928-1937); W. Elsasser (1928- ); W. Heitler (1929, 1932); P. Jordan (1931); F. Klein (1929); J. Cockroft (1931-1932); Alfred Landé (1934); N. Mott (1931, 1935), Ch. Moller, H.A. Lorentz (1927), R. Peierls (1932); A. Sommerfeld (1937). Russian physicists represented include: L.I. Mandel'stamm (1928-1943); V.A. Fock (1929-1955); D.V. Skobel'tzyn (1938), and N.N. Andreyev. Also Tamm's letters of 1928 and 1931 to his wife during visits to Germany and England. Part 2 includes: Correspondence, 1955-1971. Correspondents are: Hans Bethe, O. Chamberlain, F. Dyson, Drell, W.
