Neville frequented a 49th Street bookshop in New York
Date (happened)
1939
stated · preferred
Why
The existing reverse-witness field_refs entry on this same passage already records the temporal detail '1939'; this claim formalises it as the event's field_date, which previously had no claims.
Reasoning
Neville states the year directly while recounting the episode; this is the happening date of frequenting the bookshop, not the date he told the story from the platform.
Told / reported
7 October 1966
estimated · probable
Reasoning
The lecture whose passage carries this telling has a preferred delivery claim of 1966-10-07 at probable confidence (chrome dateline, corroborated by the Friday-night pattern); the telling cannot be more certain than that delivery date. The lecture's own processing history shows the alternative 1967-01-18 catalogue claim already downweighted against this one, so I did not derive a told claim from it.
