Here's another short piece from the Richmond Daily Dispatch, March 29, 1864. Apparently the paper had printed an account of the Battle of Gettysburg in which it reported that Nicholls' Louisiana Brigade had fallen back during its attack on Culp's (not Cemetery) Hill. Obviously, Col. Jesse M. Williams took issue with it. Williams temporarily commanded the brigade at Gettysburg and was later killed at Spotsylvania.

"A letter from Colonel J. M. Williams, of the 2d Louisiana regiment, referring to Nicholls's brigade, which he commanded, and some remarks made relative to it in our correspondent's review of the battle of Gettysburg, says:"

"This brigade never fell back, or 'retired a short distance to conform to Jones's brigade.' We were not repulsed, but only checked, and held our advanced position for eighteen or twenty hours, until ordered by Major Gen. Johnson to withdraw. Troops never fought better, nor with more determined valor, than did this gallant little band of Louisianians in storming the heights of Cemetery Hill."
