Neville publishes his first book and meets lecture agent Peakings

Neville recalls that in 1941, after his first book came out through Harper Brothers, the publisher sent him to a prominent lecture agent named Peakings -- the oldest speakers' agent in the country, whose roster included Eleanor Roosevelt and Winston Churchill. Peakings gave him a friendly interview on the strength of the Harper Brothers connection, but told him he could not take him on without more publicity, since he was still entirely unknown.

    Reasoning The witness passage does not itself state when Neville is speaking, so the told claim is inherited from the lecture's delivery record (type=estimated per the inheritance rule). Both delivery claims -- the legacy catalog claim and an independently-sourced transcript dateline -- agree exactly at certain confidence, so the told claim can carry that same certainty.
