Thanks, Roger and Eva for verifying the quote and giving the context of it.

I can visualize Stanton's slow burn as Lincoln read those chapters! I also recall Herndon's frustration with Lincoln reading aloud in their office.

Today's business-world equivalent, I guess, is having to listen to boneheads reading their PowerPoint slides to a captive, and usually seething, audience.
