The San Francisco lady whose letter Neville read at dinner -- the same lady whose premonition of the Kennedy-assassination headline he shares in this lecture -- has sponsored his meetings there for the past seven years, and attended them even before that as an ordinary member of the audience. She also sells his books. Other friends of his on the West Coast, he notes, have known him for fifteen years.

Why
The same passage adds that other West Coast friends have known him for fifteen years (circa 1948), a looser and separate reference not used to sharpen this date.
Reasoning
This is an ongoing arrangement rather than a single moment, so it is dated as a range: the lecture is 1963-12-13 by two agreeing delivery claims, and 'the last seven years' of sponsorship places its start circa 1956. Written as a between range spanning the sponsorship's approximate start through this lecture, since only a duration is given, not a start date.

estimated
Why
Two delivery claims, both agreeing; no conflict to resolve.
Reasoning
Both delivery claims on the witnessing lecture agree: [d0] catalog #168 (certain, preferred) and [d1] the transcript's own byline dateline 'Neville Goddard 12-13-1963' (certain), giving 1963-12-13. Inherited from the lecture's delivery date, so type is estimated.
