Based on unpublished, archival material, some informal reactions by George Polya to Imre Lakatos’ ”Proofs and Refutations” are presented. The archival material is letters by Polya to Lakatos in the period between 1957 and 1965. The letters show that Polya admired Lakatos’ work but he also voiced some criticism, especially when Lakatos deviates from heuristics.
