Dear Mr. Jones,
I would have been very happy to help you in your interesting research on Alexander Borovsky. Unfortunately having emigrated at the age of 11 in Belgium, then in France, I am not at all documented about the questions you ask me. In any case, my father has left no writing of the kind "souvenir," "newspaper." (I was quoting some passages from Borovsky's 500 page of unpublished memoirs in my possession). Perhaps you are familiar with the Scriabin book by Faubion Bowers, edited by Kondansha International Ltd., published in America in two volumes. Among other things, he speaks about relations between Scriabin and Borovsky. We have to check references, because I noticed several errors. Still in the U.R.S.S. you could find all the information about my father, Borovsky and Glazunov and the musical circles of that time.
If you can not contact, I advise you to write to the Union of Composers of U.R.S.S. in Moscow, which can certainly provide you with all information and has rich documentation. I write the address in Russian, a the bottom of this letter, so your correspondence will arrive more surely. Regrettably I cannot write directly for you. I beg you to believe, dear Mr. Jones.
My cordial sentiments
