Correspondence, 1949-10-05
Scope and Contents
1 Autographed Letter Signed (in French) from Pierre Teilhard de Chardin to Adrienne Croissant. Through consolation, advice, and encouragement Theilard de Chardin is advising her on the healthiest way to mourn: allowing the memory of Tanguy to be ever present, but not allowing her despair to take control of her mind. By thinking about God when mourning sets in, she will be unified with her son. He discusses that the Universe and the Word co-exist operate together. He also mentions having given a lecture to the students at l'Ecole Ste Genevieve in Versailles.
