Audience member sees a patriarch behind Neville

A man who had been in his audience a few nights earlier wrote to Neville saying that as Neville began to speak he saw a patriarch in a priest's black hat and robes standing over Neville's shoulder; Neville accepts it as true, explaining he had entered the state he was describing (the foundation stone) and that state was personified as a man.

    Reasoning The passage describes the patriarch sighting as having occurred at a lecture prior to this one ('the other night'), and this lecture (node 1070) is certainly dated 1959-12-04 by its own chrome dateline. A prior lecture necessarily happened before that date, giving an upper bound tighter than the plain circa-December already on record.
