CORRECTION: the occasion was the unsuccessful meeting with border states representatives trying to get them to institute a gradual emancipation program with compensation

sometimes I read too quickly

Edit - The meeting with the border states representatives took place on the previous day, but it is reasonable to presume that the fact that that meeting was unsuccessful was what prompted Lincoln to have the discussion with his two Cabinet officers. Therefore, I am counting this as a correct response.
