Additional Comments:
Neil Munro (aka Hugh Foulis) 1863-1930 Scottish journalist and storyteller. Date of Conrad's reading expereince unknown but context of letter suggests he read it soon before going to, or while already in Glasgow in Sept 1898 and meeting Munro, possibly at the home of Dr John Macintyre, his host and a friend of R.B. Cunninghame Graham (see also fns. pp. 94-95 in source text.)
