The state of a real gas of electrons of uniform density is examined. An equation for the coordinate representation of the density matrix for two particles is found which satisfies the various necessary conditions and which gives a lower energy than the antisymmetrized Single Slater Determinant. The additional negative correlation energy found is proportional to the one-sixth power of the density at high densities.
