Prof.&nbsp;Darboux for recommending the gift of the Nobel Prize to
Prof. H.&nbsp;Poincare.

<div class="p"><!----></div>
It is my great pleasure to say that I agree entirely with the views of
the reporters for the admirable service which Prof.&nbsp;Henri Poincaré has
done to the progress of the mathematical physics; and I consider that
he will be the most suitable person for the Nobel Prize on the subject
of theoretical physics. 

<div class="p"><!----></div>
Yours truly,

<div class="p"><!----></div>
A. Tanakadate

<div class="p"><!----></div>
Hoping this may come to you in good time.
