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.' |

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. |
