Monsieur le Secrétaire
Comité Nobel de Physique - 18 Barnhusgatan, Stockholm
Dear Sir,
At the invitation of Professor Mittag-Leffler, I have much pleasure in herewith associating myself to the proposal laid before your Committee by Messrs Appel, Darboux and Fredholm in favour of the Nobel Prize for Physics for 1910 being given to Monsieur Poincaré in recognition of his very important work in connection with differential equations in matematical Physics. 2
Yours faithfully,
G. Marconi

2 See (§ darbouxnobel1910). Marconi shared the Nobel Prize in physics (1909) with Ferdinand Braun for his contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy. Poincaré would have preferred to see the prize for wireless telegraphy go to Augusto Righi (§ nobel1905).
