CSA #12 tied by scarce black PETERSBURG/VA. cds on cover addressed twice to the same address, once in pencil and then in ink "Mr. Chas. P. Abernathy, Co "D" 1st N.C. Cavalry, Army Northern Virginia". Inside is addressed to "Miss M.S. Johnson, Happy Home", but not franked. Some flap damage and light staining, but black Petersburg cancels are far scarcer than blue.

On the way to Manassas, the 1st N. C. was received in Richmond by no less than President Jefferson Davis himself. He stated that it was "one of the best regiments and the very best volunteer regiment of cavalry that he had ever seen." A local newspaper said it came in "numbering some 900 men, well equipped and thoroughly armed." The cavalry units at Manassas were organized into the First Brigade under J.E.B. Stuart. This included the 1st N.C, the 2nd, 3rd, and 6th Virginia cavalry Regiments, and the Jeff Davis Legion. While camped at Brandy Station the 1st N.C. took part in General Stuart's grand review of his cavalry corps. He assembled some 9,000 troops and invited General Lee to review them. As a tribute to their fame and fighting spirit, the 1st N.C was chosen to lead the entire column in review. According to Colonel W. H. H. Cowles, as the column came into view, Stuart turned to Lee and pointing with pride to the 534 mounted men said, "General, there comes the 1st North Carolina Cavalry, than which there is not a better regiment in either army."
