In November 1933, after twelve unsuccessful years in America, he saw his parents sail for Barbados and was then seized by a desire to go himself; Abdullah told him he was already in Barbados and must walk as though he were, and though penniless and unemployed he received a letter from his brother Victor on 4 December with a $50 draft and a paid passage, was booked 3rd Class, was rebuked by Abdullah for it, and found at the dock on 6 December that a cancellation had put him in 1st Class on the Nerissa.

Why
Lane L7 (#2354) re-derivation. Supersedes in substance, not in storage, the refuted-date told claim(s) on this event; those rows stand per append-only.
Reasoning
Re-derived, not walked down. The existing told claim(s) on this event took their date from a delivery claim on node 989 that the corpus has since REFUTED, so the corpus was asserting that Neville told this on a day it separately says he did not lecture. That is a contradiction rather than an over-confidence, and lowering the confidence would have hidden it instead of resolving it. The refutation stands and the told claim is the wrong side of it. Node 989 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1948-2-23 at `certain`. All claims on the node: 1948-2-23 certain; 1964-2-3 refuted; 1948-??-?? certain (preferred). Superseded here: delta 0: 1964-02-03 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`). The telling is dated by its lecture, so with the refuted date removed from consideration the surviving claim is what the telling inherits, at that claim own confidence and no higher.
3 February 1964
stated · refuted
Reasoning
|| v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 989, 1964-2-3) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1948-2-23. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.
