CSA #68xu1 Raleigh NC Handstamp PAID 5
Provisional in blue and red. Postal markings are somewhat weakly struck as
is often the case and the date is not apparent. Light coarse paper cover with
“Official Business” in manuscript across the top and a Military Address to
Capt J. A. Faison 20th Reg NC Troops Fort Johnston NC. Fort
Johnston was one of the forts on the Cape Fear River guarding the approach
to Wilmington and was in Brunswick County near Smithville. The 20th NC
Infantry was organized at Fort Johnston and received its designation as the
20th NC Infantry in NOV 1861. The regiment then joined the ANV in APR
1862 as part of Garland’s Brigade of D. H. Hill’s Division and fought with
the ANV (except during June through December 1864 when the regiment
was part of Early’s Valley Campaign) all the way through to Appomattox
Court House. Therefore this particular cover must date from either late
NOV or DEC 1861 or very early 1862.
