Hi Eva. I will guess that it was rated a "C" because it was reported noncontemporaneously. The conversation between Lincoln and McClintock was in 1864, but McClintock didn't relate Lincoln's words until April 16, 1865. If he had related Lincoln's words right away in 1864 my guess would be that the Fehrenbachers would have rated it higher.
