There doesn't appear to be a particular 'connection' between Philemon and Galatians, however there IS a connection between Philemon and Colossians . Philemon was a Christian, and the employer of a certain slave named Onesimus, who'd abandoned his position and run away to Rome. While in Rome, Onesimus met and listened to the Apostle Paul, changed his attitude and behavior, and become a Christian himself. The 'book' of Philemon is basically a letter to Philemon, a friend of Paul's, asking him to forgive Onesimus, since he had now changed his ways and was no longer rebellious. He was now a fellow Christian (Philemon 1-25). After Onesimus had learned and accepted Christianity, Paul, in order to help the congregation accept him, sent him back to Colossae with Tychicus, to deliver Paul's letter to the Colossian Congregation (Colossians 4:7-9). This letter (the 'book' of Colossians) deals with Christian principles involved in the relationship between master and slave (Colossians 3:22-4:1), which would apply to the employer/employee relationship today.

Is the letter to Philemon one of Pauls epistles?
Philemon is a personal letter to Philemon from Paul. It is pretty strait forward. Onesimus is a slave of Philemon's who has escaped. Onesimus comes to Paul and Paul is able to teach him about Jesus Christ and he become a Christian. In this way Onesimus has become a "child" to Paul. Paul sends this letter back to Philemon with his new brother in the faith, Onesimus, and pleads that Philemon "receive[s] him kindly" the way he would receive Paul himself. He then pleads that the punishment Onesimus was due for running away be brought to Paul instead. This letter does not open itself for interpretation but teaches valuable lesson to followers of Christ; namely the love and unity that fellow believers must have for one another, our relationships should be close and loving as in a family bond (Philemon 2, 20), and when dealing with issues that may arise teaching us to be humble and tactful in our petitions. Instead of using his authority to tell Philemon what to do he appealed to his Christian love.
