1904 Lhasa (20 Aug) to England via Brindisi, f.w. Indian KEVII 1a x2, tied by scarce misspelled "LAHSSA" type B1 cds. Transit Base Office (31 Aug). With original letter mentioning Dalai Lama and China for several times. Interesting. The "LAHSSA" cds dated earlier than the record in "Tibet Stamps and Postal History".

1904.8.20 拉薩經布林迪西寄英國，貼印度愛德華七世1安娜x2，銷稀罕之錯拼“LAHSSA”B1型日戳。8.31經基地郵局。附原信，信中提到達賴喇嘛及中國數次，十分有趣。拉薩日戳日期比《青康藏郵驛史》之記錄更早。
