We consider the Dirichlet problem for Laplace's equation in a rectangle with a view toward determining the asymptotic behaviour of the solution for the case in which the width of the rectangle is small in comparison with its length. Although the construction of an explicit representation of the solution is an elementary matter, the resulting formula is inconvenient for present purposes, and we accordingly proceed along different lines.
