Obviously, the OP intended to ask about this sentence "$f\in\ell_\infty^*$ is the sum of an element of $\ell_1$ and an element null on $c_0$" from the paper D. H. Fremlin and M. Talagrand: A Gaussian Measure on $l^\infty$ http://jstor.org/stable/2243023 (Which is different claim from what was in the question.)
The authors refer to the book Day, M. (1973). Normed Linear Spaces. Springer, Berlin. I was not able to find the exact place in Day's book where this is shown, but I think that for this special case it is relatively easy.
For $f\in\ell_\infty^*$ put $a_i=f(e^i)$. Then the sequence $a=(a_i)$ belongs to $\ell_1$. (Since $\sum\limits_{i=1}^n |a_i| = \sum\limits_{i=1}^n |f(e^i)| = f(\sum\limits_{i=1}^n \varepsilon_ie^i) \le \lVert f \rVert$, where $\varepsilon_i=\pm1$ are chosen according to the signs of $f(e^i)$.)
Now, if $x_n\to 0$, then $$f(x)-a^*(x)= \lim\limits_{n\to\infty} f(\sum\limits_{i=1}^n x_ie^i)-\sum\limits_{i=1}^n a_ix_i=0.$$
I hope I haven't overlooked something and that someone will provide the reference to the result (probably more general) which the authors of the above-mentioned paper had in mind.
