Abstract
Joseph Conrad lies deep under the sod and yet the letter staring at me as I write is almost warm from his hands. It is dated 23 June [1924], Oswalds, Bishopsbourne, Kent, and it deals with an hypothetical question I put to ‘the most romantic figure in English literature’ concerning probable present-day conditions had America remained under the political domination of Great Britain.
New York Herald and New York Tribune [Magazine — Fiction — Books], 24 Aug. 1924, p. 1.
