After the meeting, Lincoln issued another order, naming specific officers as corps commanders to report to McClellan (who had been reluctant to do so prior to assessing his division commanders' effectiveness in combat, even though this would have meant his direct supervision of twelve divisions in the field).
Efter mødet udstedte Lincoln en ny ordre, som udnævnte bestemte officerer til korpschefer med rapport til McClellan, som havde været tøvende overfor at gøre noget sådant, inden han havde afprøvet sine divisionschefers effektivitet i kamp, selv om det ville have betydet, at han selv skulle overvåge 12 divisioner på slagmarken.
