    Dear Mr. Prasad:

    In answer to your letter, I have to tell you that I think that Einstein accepted quantum mechanics, essentially completely. One point about which he remained unconvinced throughout his life, so far as I am aware, is the interpretation of the wave functions and matrix elements as probabilities. The question involved here is such an abstruse one that I am not able to discuss it in a letter.

    With best wishes to you in your work, I am

    Sincerely yours,

    Linus Pauling:ffd
