Thank you very much, Jan! I checked the electronic index to the 11-volume
"Slovo" collected works of Pasternak and found a record for the
Chakravarti letter of 12 January 1960 (vol. X, 565-67); Teilhard is also
mentioned in Mikhail Polivanov's reminiscences of Pasternak in the same
collected works, vol. XI, 467. I don't have the books themselves here at
home, so I don't know how substantive the Polivanov passage will prove to
be.

Best wishes to all,

Tim Sergay
