1909 Kwannan (10 Jan) to Peking. Double-registered red band cover,
f.w. Coiling Dragon 2c + 10c for domestic double registered rate,
tied by Yunnan Kwannan double-ringed lunar year cds., alongside
with RR mark and Mengtsz Kwannan registered mark. Trasit Shanghai
(6 Feb), Tientsin (9 Feb). Arrived Peking (11 Feb). Before Jan
1907, mails from Yunnan via Tonkin or Burma had to pay
international postage. But since Feb 1907, domestic mails from
Yunnan via sea route were no longer handled by French Indochina
post so only domestic postage was charged. But mails taking Burma
route still had to pay international postage. Illustration 19, p.

1909.1.10 廣南寄北京。雙掛號紅條封,貼蟠龍2分 +
1角,合國內雙掛號郵資,銷雲南廣南雙圈干支日戳,旁鈐RR章及蒙自廣南掛號章。2.6經上海,2.9經天津。2.11抵北京。
在1907年1月前,雲南郵件不論經印支東京或緬甸均需付國際郵資。但同年2月起,自雲南經海路寄國內郵路不再由法屬印支郵局處理,故只需付國內郵資。但若經緬甸仍需付國際郵資。
