Neville tells Tom in the audience that he has both Tom's letter and that of Tom C. of New York City at home, and that in their visions each quoted Paul — Tom the 13th of 1st Corinthians, Tom C. Galatians 2:20.

Neville reads out a letter received that morning from Tom C., a young former student now in New York, who woke cataleptic, found himself dreaming behind a bar with his brother Jerry, applied Neville's technique of holding a solid object to wake within the dream, and then told a lady and his cousin that the world is a dream, showing his cousin page thirty-six of her own book.
