| Title | Copy letter from Arthur William Rucker, to Professor Gösta Mittag-Leffler, Fellow of the Royal Society |
| Date | 5 May 1897 |
| Description | It is the Society's custom to publish in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society' obituary notices of Fellows and Foreign Members. The English mathematicians think Mittag-Leffler the most competent to provide an account of the life and work of the late Professor [Carl Wilhelm] Weierstrass and they would like to ask if Mittag-Leffler would be willing to undertake this task.
Rucker must confess it is unusual to ask a Foreign Member but they would be greatly obliged if his duties will allow him to comply with this task. |
