Evidence:
'Pray, when you see [Wilson] Follett, give him a warm greeting from me. His little book is one of these things one does not forget. I saw some time ago a study of Galsworthy by him (and a lady who must be either his wife or his sister) which within the limits if a magazine article was simply admirable for insight and expression.'

Joseph Conrad, Laurence Davies, Frederick R. Karl and Owen Knowles (ed.), The Collected Letters of Joseph Conrad Volume 6, 1917-1919 (Cambridge, 2002), 6, p. 111, http://can-red-lec.library.dal.ca/Arts/RED/record_details.php?id=28304, accessed: 28 March 2024
Additional Comments:
See fn.2 p. 111 of source text. From this evidence it is not clear whether Conrad first read the Galsworthy article in a periodical and subsequently read the book in which it was reprinted.
