20 July 1869, cover sent from Haverhill, Massachusetts, to Swatow, franked with a US 10c adhesive tied by dumb cross stamp. On the front

20 July 1869, cover sent from Haverhill, Massachusetts, to Swatow, franked with a US 10c adhesive tied by dumb cross stamp. On the front side, further cancelled by a boxed handstamp “PAID ONLY TO HONG KONG” with manuscript deletion, San Francisco Paid All red circular c.d.s. On the reverse side, two cancellations including HK c.d.s. (5 Sep) and Swatow arrival c.d.s. (9 Sep). According to Goldsmith, this special “PAID ONLY TO HONG KONG” handstamp was a locally made cancellation, specifying the postage paid was sufficient up to Hong Kong only. But in this cover, the US postage 10c has already covered the charge to the Treaty Port, Swatow, and therefore deleted the boxed handstamp subsequently by the HK postal officer when he forwarded the mail to Swatow. Provenance: Mike Goldsmith Collection1869.7.20 美國寄汕頭，貼美國票10分，正鈐“PAID ONLY TO HONG KONG”指示戳，另見香港中轉戳及汕頭到達戳。Goldsmith指此指示戳為當地製作，表明郵資僅覆蓋至香港。但此封之郵資亦足以寄至商埠，故在香港被劃去。Mike Goldsmith舊藏。

1882 and 1884 a pair of covers from USA to J.C.A. Wingate, US Consulate Foochow, both f.w. US 5c, tied by by obliterator along with cds.

1882 and 1884 a pair of covers from USA to J.C.A. Wingate, US Consulate Foochow, both f.w. US 5c, tied by by obliterator along with cds. Former transit via US Consulate Shanghai while latter via Hong Kong to Foochow BPO. A very interesting pair given the different route of the same correspondence and rate. Also, former applied with US Consulate Shanghai transit cds is also unusual as postmarks with inscriptions "US Postal Agency" was already in use by that time.1882及1884年一對美國寄美國駐福州領事J.C.A. Wingate封，均貼美國票5分，銷殺手戳，另見Stratham日戳。前者經美國駐上海領事館中轉，後者則經香港至福州英局。雖然為年份相近、郵資相同之Wingate書信，但反映了不同郵路，十分有趣。而當時上海美國客郵局早已使用“US Postal Agency”銘文之郵戳，故前者鈐領事館中轉戳亦較少見獨特。
