Citation:
Joseph Conrad, Laurence Davies and Gene M. Moore (ed.), The Collected Letters of Joseph Conrad Volume 8,1923-1924 (Cambridge, 2008), 8, p. 56, http://can-red-lec.library.dal.ca/Arts/RED/record_details.php?id=28896, accessed: 08 May 2024
Additional Comments:
Since Conrad wrote a preface (see letter 24 July 1922, vol. 7, p.49, of source text), it can be deduced that he first read the text in MS though no direct evidence of this has to date been found in the many letters to its author.
