    Source Is Causation Imaginaldelivery claim d1 on lecture nid=1822 identifies the fire Neville describes visiting as the well-documented Bel-Air fire of 6 November 1961 (library of first editions and art lost, only a manuscript and suit saved) -- used there as a lower bound for the lecture's own delivery date, but it is itself the happening date of this event.
    Why External historical anchor (Bel-Air fire, 6 Nov 1961), not something Neville states himself in this passage.
    Reasoning This event IS the visit to the burnt ruins on the night Aldous Huxley's house burned down. Passage 545627 does not itself state a date, but the lecture's own delivery-claim research (d1, confirmed) identifies the fire in exact detail as the well-documented Bel-Air fire of 6 November 1961 -- that is the happening date being asked about here, distinct from the lecture's later delivery date.

  1. between 6 November 1961 and 26 May 1962 estimated · probable
    Source Is Causation Imaginaldelivery claim d1 on lecture nid=1822: bound 1961-11-06..1962-05-26, confidence=probable, state=confirmed -- lower bound from the Bel-Air fire (6 Nov 1961) being described as already past, upper bound from the lecture looking ahead to a still-future class 'on the 26th of May'. d0's point estimate (circa 1962, preferred) sits inside this interval and is noted there as consistent.
    Reasoning Passage 545627 is Neville telling, in his own voice, of going to see the ruins the night Aldous Huxley's house burned down -- this is the telling. The owning lecture nid=1822 is bounded to 1961-11-06..1962-05-26 by its most rigorously derived, confirmed delivery claim, so the telling inherits that same bound and probable confidence rather than the narrower circa-1962 point estimate.
