Bob Keeler wrote to Douglas Fawcett - then ninety-three, a former Don of Oxford, on every suggested reading list though not always taken seriously - and showed Neville the reply. Fawcett wrote that he had been fighting for Imaginism since 1916, and had abandoned all his experiments prior to 1916 as valueless; he had come to Imaginism by exhausting every other idea of truth, including the Germanic ones, eliminating them one by one by actual experiment because they did not fill the bill, and he drew on Blake to support the claim. Keeler had sent him Your Faith is Your Fortune and Awakened Imagination and explained the teaching of revision, and Fawcett answered: 'I should consider the revisionary aspect of Imaginism as that given by the Divine Society, and I suggest that you read the last chapter of my Oberland Dialogues.' He closed, 'I am so happy to find several allies in your great America.' Neville takes it as independent arrival at the same conclusion, reached by elimination rather than by vision.
