Paralleling a work of Fock we are able to eliminate the auxiliary conditions in our generalized quantum electrodynamics. As in the work of Fock this leads to a determination of both the electrostatic self-energy and electrostatic particle-particle interaction. Both turn out to be finite and in agreement with results obtained classically.
