Neville's wife, a Smith College graduate, wrote to him daily while he was in the army, in handwriting so difficult that he had to read the letters alone to decipher them — and years later she could not read her own handwriting either.

Why
d0 left untouched (append-only); this claim both sharpens and relabels it correctly.
Reasoning
Passage 555377 dates the letters only by 'when I was in the army', with no year spoken. The corpus's own anchors bound his Army service to 1942-11-12..1943-03(-??), which is the true evidentiary basis for a year on this event - not a stated fact, so it should be estimated rather than stated, and per house rule an Army-derived claim cannot exceed probable because the discharge date is his own platform recollection, not a record. This narrows the existing d0 (1942..1943, mislabelled stated/certain) to the true ~4.5-month service window without altering d0 itself.
