Neville receives matching letters from a married couple

A friend came to dinner within the last week and handed him a letter; at Neville's request the friend's wife mailed hers the same night, so he now holds two letters telling the same episode from different levels of awareness, and he will tell the husband's on Friday.

    Reasoning Passage 545191 is Neville himself telling the audience about receiving matching letters from a friend and the friend's wife, to be shared Friday. The lecture containing it (nid 1811) has two independently-sourced delivery claims that agree exactly on 1967-02-13 at certain confidence; the telling inherits that same date and confidence.
