1895 (1 May) piece of newspaper wrapper addressed to Chungking bearing Chungking third issue 2c. rose-red ited by the boxed Ichang datestamp and showing the scarce boxed "
It is thought that this wrapper was mailed from Shanghai to the I.M. Customs in Chungking but underpaid. The postage stamp applied in Ichang as a postage due, hence the collection on delivery.
