    List of Known Peirce Correspondents
    This list includes names of persons Peirce sent letters to and/or received letters from, either probably or certainly, and names of people who wrote letters concerning Peirce, a few of which Peirce had copies of, that have been retrieved in different archives. The list also includes names of institutions. We strongly wish that readers interested in this list would look for a number of the names in their local archives in the hope of finding new Peirce-related letters. We expect that thousands of letters by Peirce still survive in unsearched archives both in the U.S. and abroad. Please join the effort in their recovery!

    48. Peirce's Life
    began. His father, benjamin peirce, was a distinguished professor atHarvard College and the most respected mathematician in America.
    http://www.iupui.edu/~peirce/peirce/life/lifex.htm
    C H A R L E S S. P E I R C E Charles Sanders Peirce was born on 10 September 1839 in Cambridge, Massachusetts when Darwin was only 30 years oldand he lived until 1914, the year World War I began. His father, Benjamin Peirce Intellectually, Charles Peirce and his father had a lot in common. One curious statement to this effect comes from a letter from Thomas Davidson to William Torrey Harris. After listening to Charles give a lecture to the Harvard Philosophy Club on 21 May 1879, Davidson wrote to Harris: "Peirce's paper was captious, bright, and poor. After it was over, I had a long talk with Prof. Ben. Peirce, who undertook to prove to me mathematically that space has four dimensions. The Peirce's are all a little crazy, I think." Just 7 years later, Charles's friend, Francis Ellingwood Abbot, made this entry in his diary: Attended a meeting of "philosophers,' including John Fiske, James, Royce, and Perry, at Prof. J. M. Peirce's, 4 Kirkland Place, to welcome Prof. Chas. S. Peirce, of Johns Hopkins, (my classmate), and hear from him a new "logical theory of Evolution." Peirce begins with absolute or pure potentiality, with absolute chance or negation of all law, even logical, to evolve at last Absolute Being and Absolute Lawin fact, to evolve Infinity out of Zero, God out of Nothing. Brilliant, ingenious, andimpossible. Had a wine supper, during which Charley continued to spin his glistening cobweb. The Peirce family was well connected in academic and scientific circles, and Charles grew up on intimate terms with the leading figures. He was regarded as a prodigy both in science and philosophy, and more brilliant in mathematics than even his father. Although

    Indeed. And if you are interested in Benjamin Peirce's life, I suggest
    you to take a look, for instance, at an old booklet written by Archibald
    in 1925 [1]. You may be pleased also to consult [2].
    The following statement
    "IDEMPOTENT and NILPOTENT were used by Benjamin Peirce (1809-1880)
    in 1870 in American Journal of Mathematics (1881)"
    seems, as you read it, a bit misleading.
    Our library of 'classics' was close today, and will be close tomorrow,
    and so I have not checked the source, but if I am not mistaken Peirce read his famous memoir [3] before the National Academy of Sciences in Washington some time prior to 1870.
