The logic of the statement

Salaam

Could you please clarify the logical relationship between the red part of the paragraph and the subject matter please? If it means that Pierre was unequivocal in Lefller's response, what the statement has to do with the subject matter?

Thanks in advance,

Outraged to learn of the nomination, the mathematician Gösta Mittag-Leffler advised Pierre, who was unequivocal in his response: ” If it is true that one is seriously thinking about me [for the Prize] I very much wish to be considered together with Madame Curie with respect to our research on radioactive bodies […] her role in this discovery was very important (she also determined the atomic weight of radium),” he wrote in a letter.

After pulling some strings, Marie was incorporated into the nomination and, in December 1903, the three scientists (Becquerel and the Curies) were presented with the prestigious award.
