Cleburne and the Hardee Flag

I have read that when Gen. Joe Johnston took over the AoT in 1863-64, he had new Battle Flags issued to the ranks.

Gen. Pat Cleburne raised a fuss about having to give up his Hardee style Battle Flags for his Division. We know he was able to keep his old style Flags, and was issued new types of the same.

What documentation in the OR's (if any) is there dealing with this subject? I have searched, but sometimes it's a hit & miss deal if you don't hit on the right combination of words in the search.

Also, can anyone point me to other documentation on this subject?
