Longstreet and A. P. Hill were to recross the Chickahominy close to Richmond and march down the Darbytown Road to a position on Huger's right, where they, also, were to assail the flank of McClellan as he moved toward the James River.

Including those of Huger's affair of June 25, on the first of the Seven Days, the final computation was 20,141 killed, wounded, and missing.

Actually, as often happens in war, Huger's information was outdated almost before it reached him.
