Let S be a compact Hausdorff space; let C(S) be the algebra of all continuous complex valued functions on S; and let M(S) be the dual space of (S) (the space of all regular Borel measures on S). In [2] Grothendieck gave a description of weak sequential convergence in M(S) in terms of uniform convergence on sequences of disjoint open sets in S. In this note we give a condition on the carriers of measures to guarantee that weak zero convergent sequences are norm zero convergent. While this condition is interesting in its own right, it can also be used to obtain immediately some well-known results about compact operators from C(S) to c0.
