4063 1949 A double registered cover from Yilung to Chungking, bearing SYS Hwa Nan print 4c x 2, with local overprinted ‘YILING’ and SYS Hwa Nan print 10c x 2, matching the domestic registration rate 28c, tied by ‘YILUNG/30.7.49’ cds and ‘CHUNGKING/6.8.49’ arrival cds. Instead of reaching the Supreme Court in Chungking this letter was sent to Canton, with ‘CANTON/32.8.49’ arrival cds. The cover was later sent back to Supreme Court, Chungking, with ‘CHUNGKING/20.9.49’ transit and ‘SHAPINGBA/22.9.49’ arrival cds. This is evidence of the chaos in the postal system during the China Civil War.
