Neville notes that Larry has attended his lectures for years while Bill only started coming last November, and the two only met in this room in the last few months — yet their letters arrived the same morning and dovetail.
Date (happened)
19 May 1964

Why
Corpus already held this exact date, correctly derived, but mislabelled as field_told; adding the field_date companion rather than altering the old row.
Reasoning
The event is Neville noting live that 'this morning's mail' brought Larry's and Bill's dovetailing letters -- a speech act, so its happening date is the lecture's own delivery date, 1964-05-19 (certain). The corpus's existing field_date (1963-11) instead dates a different, embedded fact in the same passage -- Bill's first attendance, from the aside 'only came here last November' -- not this event, which is the passage-can-hold-several-dates trap. That claim is left standing but does not date the noting itself. Per the speech-act rule this is written as field_date, not field_told; the corpus's existing field_told claim (also 1964-05-19) is left untouched rather than corrected.
