In mid-June 1862 in response to General Lee's need for specific information on the strength and position of the Army of the Potomac .This was in preparation for the counter-attack(The Seven Days' Battles) to McClellan's advance up the York/James Peninsula(The Peninsular Campaign) threatening the Confederate Capitol of Richmond.In addition to gathering the above information Stuart also captured a Union telegraph station along with hundreds of mules. In his typical flamboyant style Stuart sent a message to the U.S. Quartermaster General informing of the captured mules and sarcastically complaining of the poor condition of the animals.
