Description:
Aage Petersen was Niels Bohr's personal assistant. Along with Bohr, Petersen spent the fall of 1954 in Princeton and he and Hugh Everett III became friends. As someone close to both Everett and to Bohr, Petersen was one of Everett's principal correspondents concerning the relationship between his work and the Copenhagen interpretation. Petersen and Wheeler both served as intermediaries between Everett and Bohr. In this document, a telegram that Petersen sent in May 1956, Petersen expressed Bohr's wish that Everett postpone his visit to Copenhagen.
