Post Office Memo
1895 (6th Mar.) The Local Post Office memo, an autograph letter from Henry Miller, the local postmaster to Rev. Dr Hodge of the Weslian Mission enclosing $5 of stamps, "... and 6 sets Ichang stamps ... I used to keep Chungking stamps but have let my stock run out.", he goes on the write, "A letter bearing the Hankow L.P.O. postmark will go to Shanghai, Chefoo, Tientsin, Swatow, Amoy or to any other port a Shanghai letter will go.".


A charming letter with some good information. This would make a fine addition to any collection of Hankow. Photo
