Benny sees David as his son, 6 March 1968, and confirms it by letter

Benny, whom Neville had told publicly that it would happen on a given date, pushed a letter under Neville's door at night; reading it next morning Neville found Benny's account of a vision in which, left to mind Caucasian children at a party, a blond blue-eyed lad he knew to be David called him Father — confirmed two days later by a doubling dream — and Neville goes out on a limb predicting the 8th of July for Benny.

    Why The existing 1968-03-14..15 row dates receipt/reading of the confirming letter, not the vision itself.
    Reasoning The lecture is currently held exactly at Friday 1968-03-15; the passage identifies the vision as Wednesday of the preceding week, which resolves to 1968-03-06. This is a derived calendar date, hence estimated.
