7-2-55. H. Poincaré to Felix Klein, English translation

Caen, 8 December 1881

Paris, rue Gay-Lussac 66

Sir,

I am infinitely grateful for your generous offer and am fully prepared to accept. I shall soon send you the letter you request; I will ask you, however, how much room you are able to devote to it in the Annalen.11endnote: 1 Klein asked Poincaré to send him an article or a letter for publication in Mathematische Annalen; see Klein to Poincaré, 4 December 1881 (§ 4-47-10). I know that your journal’s clientele is numerous, that the space you can allow each article is necessarily limited, and I would not wish to abuse your benevolence.

Once I know the length my letter may have, I will write it for you immediately.

I shall soon have the honor of sending you various notes relating to the general theory of functions, if this agrees with you.

I have recently read Schwarz’s memoir in the Monatsberichte and his proofs appeared rigorous to me.

Please accept, sir, my thanks and the expression of my great consideration,

Poincaré

PTrL. Translated by R. Burns from the original French (§ 4-47-11) in Saint-Gervais (2016), with revisions by S.A. Walter.
