1904 Mongtze B (Yunnanfu) (25 Jul) to France via Bhamo, f.w. Navigation and Commerce issue ovpt. YUNNANSEN with Chinese value, tied by extremely scarce Mongtze B French PO cds. Transit Yunnanfu Chinese PO (30 Jul), Tengyueh (13 Aug), Siakwan (27 Aug). Arrived Paris (18 Sep). Late example of Mongtze B cds, not to mention taking the Bhamo route. Smiliar to the Laokay A post, French Indo-China established a post office in Yunnanfu in 1902 without permission from the Chinese Government. It was named Mongtze B to keep a low profile until a permission to set up a post office was granted. Mongtze B was renamed Yunnanfu. About 20 covers from “Mongtze B” are known to survive. 1904.7.25 蒙自B局（雲南府）經八莫寄法國，貼航海及商貿神像加蓋YUNNANSEN連中文面值十仙，銷極稀罕之蒙自B法國客郵局日戳。7.30經雲南府，8.13經騰越，8.27經下關。9.18抵巴黎。甚晚之蒙自B局例子，經八莫郵路更是出色。一如老街A局，法屬印支郵政在未經清政府批准擅自在雲南府設立郵局，在日戳上雋刻地名“蒙自B”以掩人耳目。1904年，清政府才同意法國在雲南府設局，於是改回“雲南府”地名。以“蒙自B” 地名發出的實寄封有20多件，是法國客郵中的罕品。

Arrived Hanoi (6 Jan). In 2024 (Nov), AVA Auctions offered a Mengtze to Paris cover, dated 28 Jan 1902 and claimed it is probably the earliest cover since the name of the post office was changed from Laokay A to Mongtze. This cover, however, is even earlier. 2012 (Apr) Interasia, lot 1489. 1901.12.23 蒙自寄河內。掛號封，貼航海及商貿神像票4枚，合55生丁，銷蒙自法局日戳，旁鈐R章。12.28經老街。1.6抵河內。2024年11月艾華秋拍曾出售一件1902年1月28日之蒙自寄巴黎封，稱可能為老街A法國客郵局正名為蒙自後之最早實寄封，然而此封更早。2012.4 Interasia，拍品號1489。
