Obviously there are many things in her books one doesn't find in most other books (just yesterday it turned out to be the same with a quote about A. L.'s alledged appetite for fricasseed chicken), so it's a pity she has no footnotes (like many old books).
However, if it happens you find or remember an original source one day it would be great if you could share.

I am going to PM you as soon as I find out! I am meticulously going through all my AL books. I think I also read the quote in Jim Bishop's "The Day Lincoln Was Shot" but I don't own that one.

I remember reading from more than one source about AL's fondness for chicken fricassee with biscuits but I can't remember where-very frustrating!
