A letter arrived in that morning's mail from a woman of eighty-two, unknown to Neville, saying she was returning his book The Law and the Promise because none of its forty stories gave any credit or thanks to God, making it a Godless book; Neville asks the audience not to judge her, comparing her to his own parents who conceived of God as external.

Node 1710 has independently corroborated 1963-02-05 chrome and catalogue anchors; its 1952 and 1969 delivery claims are already doubtful. || v1.1/l7/told-close-residue: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1710, 1969-8-8) is now refuted. The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1963-2-5. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.
