"I shall never forget...such frivolous jests": Dana, "Lincoln and the War Department," in Reminiscences of Abraham Lincoln, ed. Rice (1909 edn.), pp. 27879.

Other sources, however, suggest that it probably occurred while a larger crowd waited in the telegraph office for results of the state elections in October. Given that Stanton was ill and remained at home during November elections, Dana has probably confused the two dates.
