Dear Mr.&nbsp;Poincaré,

<div class="p"><!----></div>
I was glad a fortnight ago to receive your New Year card, and had kept
it as a reminder to send my own in return, when yesterday I received
your beautiful volume <em>"Théorie Mathématique de la
Lumière."</em><a href="#tthFtNtAAB" name="tthFrefAAB">
<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
<mrow>
<msup><mrow></mrow><mrow><mn>1</mn></mrow>
</msup>
</mrow></math></a>  
It contains a great deal of most interesting reading for me, and I
thank you very much for your kindness in sending it to me. With all
good wishes to you for the New Year.

<div class="p"><!----></div>
I remain, yours very truly,

<div class="p"><!----></div>
William Thomson
