Reasoning
Passage 556874 is Neville himself stating, in first person, that he is leaving that Sunday to fly to New York on the fifteenth of September, carrying only Blake and his Bible; this is the telling. The lecture containing it, nid 4004, is dated 1957-09-15 by a confirmed cross-check of two internal statements (the Sunday/15-September departure and the Blake bicentennial reference). The telling inherits that confirmed exact/probable precision and confidence.
