Collier's book (I have a copy which I checked) doesn't say anything useful and doesn't provide any primary references on the topic.
If someone like Gunther Schuller has written anything about Bartok/Goodman connection, it *would* be worth chasing up.

Off the top of my head - sorry - no time to look in any detail right at the moment -

James Lincoln Collier's biography of Goodman. There may be better Goodman bios, but that's the one I know and own.

Halsey Stevens' biography of Bartok.

these books might point to more primary source material - don't know for sure, and don't have time to check right now.

Also, Maureen Hurd (Hause) did her thesis on some of Goodman's classical commissions. She's at Rutgers U in New Jersey (US), dissertation at Yale. You can find her on Facebook.
