It is said that the sender was Li Hung-chang. Cover opened out for display. To complete with US Post in China, IJPO reduced to postage from 10s to 5s for letters to Japan and USA. However, since 1 Oct 1897, only mails to Japan remained concessionary rate. 1898.10.8 北京寄大清駐日本大使李盛鐸。紅條封，貼日本版蟠龍5分 + 蟠龍1角，分別銷北京大圓戳及R章。10.17經上海。加貼日本小判5錢（特惠郵資）+ 10錢（掛號費），銷上海日局日戳。收件人李盛鐸於百日維新後就任駐日大使，封面寫有“第壹號”表明為上任後收到之首封公函。據說寄件人為李鴻章。封剖開以作展示。為與美國客郵局爭奪市場，日本客郵局將寄美國及日本之郵資從10錢下降至5錢。但在1897年10月1日後，僅寄日本郵件仍享有此特惠郵資。
