Passage 552749 (lecture 2068, 'Fawcett's Letter (Imaginism)'): 'The other day my friend, Bob Keeler, showed me a wonderful letter. A month or so ago he wrote a letter to Douglas Fawcett...' 'The other day' places the letter-showing shortly before this lecture. The lecture's own delivery date (1959-09-22) is itself only a single unreviewed legacy row, and 'the other day' is an imprecise relative phrase, so recorded as circa/estimated at the lecture's month rather than an exact day; confidence possible given the compounded uncertainty of a vague phrase sitting over an unreviewed anchor.

Reasoning
Passage 552749 is Neville's own live, first-person account of Bob Keeler showing him the Fawcett letter, narrated within lecture node 2068 ('Fawcett's Letter (Imaginism)') — indeed the lecture's own title subject per its processing notes, so a direct told instance of this event. The lecture's only delivery-date claim, 1959-09-22, is a single unreviewed legacy row, so this told claim is marked probable rather than inheriting the legacy row's own stated certain. || v1.1 type repair: written as `stated` by run v1.1/l4/actor417/8000-9999-b15, retyped `estimated` — the claim cites node 2068, not a passage, so it is this lane's inference rather than something Neville said in so many words (#2117).

Fawcett's Letter (Imaginism) |
The other day my friend, Bob Keeler, showed me a wonderful letter. A month or so ago he wrote a letter to Douglas Fawcett, whose concepts I have discussed here. He is now ninety-three years old and is a great philosopher. His name is mentioned on all suggested lists of required reading, though he is not always taken seriously. He was a former Don of Oxford. In answer to Bob’s letter, this is the gist of what he said: He told Bob he was very interested and then he said: “l have been fighting for Imaginism since 1916, and all my experiments prior to 1916 I have abandoned as valueless, but since… |
