1909 Imperial Post registered receipt of a mail from Mengtsz to Hong Kong, applied with Mengtsz bilingual cds (dated “intercalary month”), alongside with “Mengtsz Hsimenwai” horizontal cachet. Registration fee to Hong Kong was 10c which is the same as international registration fee but this example was using receipt form for domestic registered mail.

1909年大清郵政掛號執據，記錄收到蒙自寄香港之掛號件，鈐蒙自腰框英漢閏月日戳，另見“蒙自西門外”橫戳。當時寄香港掛號資費為1角，與國際掛號資費相同，但此例使用了國內掛號執據，有趣。馬蘭茂著《雲南郵政史1901-1949》第36頁圖11原件。
