Sinkiang
Chinese Republic Post
Unified Postage - By Bus and Other Motor Routes
1935 (4 June) envelope to Tientsin bearing 1924-36 ½c. pair and 4c. tied by Ining Chinese c.d.s. and the cover marked "Sinkiang - Suiyuan route", the reverse with an array of Tientsin machine and handstruck daters (6.7). The Sinkiang - Suiyuan bus service began operation in November 1934 but as there is no transit mark for Lanchow it is thought that this letter took the Kweisui - Hami section of the Kweisui - Sinkiang postal route.
