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.
