1904 Mongtze B (Yunnanfu) (19 Feb) to USA. Registered cover, f.w. Navigation and Commerce ovpt. YUNNANSEN with Chinese value x3, tied by extremely scarce Mongtze B French PO cds. Showing "via Japan San Francisco" annotation. Transit Mongtze French PO (1 Mar), Haiphong (16 Mar), Hong Kong (22 Mar), Seattle (Apr). Arrived New York (27 Apr). 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.1904.2.19 蒙自B局（雲南府）寄美國。掛號封，貼航海及商貿神像加蓋YUNNANSEN連中文面值四仙 + 六仙 + 十仙，銷極稀罕之蒙自B法國客郵局日戳。寫有“via Japan San Francisco”批示。3.1經蒙自法局，3.16經海防，3.22經香港，4月經西雅圖。4.27抵紐約。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。

1863 French Legation in Peking (27 Aug) to US Consul at Padang “Indes Neerlandaises & par Batavia”, showing on reverse “Legation de France/en Chine/Eagle” double-ring cachet in red, “Shanghai/Bau Français” c.d.s. (18 Sep) on front and “Batavia” c.d.s. (17 Oct) in red on reverse, rated “2 5”. The seal, though of extremely fine appearance, is affected by internal tears from normal opening of the envelope. An exceptional example of official French diplomatic mail to a most uncommon destination; very few such examples of the Legation cachet have survived in private hands. 1963.8.2 法國駐京使館寄美國駐巴塘領事館。郵簡，鈐珍罕之“LEGATION DE FRANCE / EN CHINE”戳記。9.18經上海法局。寫有“2 5”郵資字樣。10.17抵巴達維亞。此例戳記清晰，唯略受打開信件造成的裂口影響。出類拔萃之法國外交公文郵件，目的地亦頗為少見，蓋有這款使館戳者寥寥可數。
