http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/86223024

The Granger-Teilhard de Chardin Collection consists of seventeen letters from Teilhard to Dr. Walter Granger of the American Museum of Natural History, plus one letter to Roy Chapman Andrews, scientist and explorer. The letters contain detailed accounts of Teilhard's paleological findings and scientific research, and his comments on the findings and writings of others in the field. These discussions include a number of allusions to research on Peking Man (Sinanthropos), as well as more detailed mention of Teilhard's work on fauna. There are also a number of references to the Sino-Japanese War and its influence on Teilhard's activities.
