Was Lee aware of Wrights claims by the end of day two? Did they have any
impact on his planning for day three?

IIRC, didn't Wright say the trouble wasn't in getting there but in staying
there? Conjecture would be that Marse Robert thought that if a small brigade
could do that then maybe some 13,000 of Pickett's, Pettigrew's & Trimble's
boys could stay there & deliver a damaging blow.
Respectfully,
