plenary indulgence

plenary indulgence
Question from anon on 4/13/2008:

Dear Father,

One must confess within a few days before or after the work performed for a plenary indulgence I have heard.

Previously David Gregson said one must confess as much as at least 20 days before or after the work performed for a plenary indulgence.

What is the correct number of days, if there is any?
Answer by Rev. Mark J. Gantley, JCL on 5/5/2008:

The confession needs to be within "several" days of the indulgenced work. I think that 20 is far beyond several.
