Woman friend's conception vision on March 5
Description
An unnamed woman friend (a letter-writer, present in the lecture audience) recounts a spiritual/supernatural conception vision modelled on Luke 1:35, which she says took place on the 5th day of March; unlike the others present in the vision, she alone was awake and saw the face at the moment of conception, so she alone knows precisely when it occurred.
