Hong Kong Treaty Ports
Hoihow
1904 (19 Nov.) Hoihow to London postage due picture postcard, bearing Hong Kong KEVII 2c., tied by Hoihow cds, (Proud D8) with "T" in circle, 1D F.B. (Foreign Branch) postage due handstamp in black alongside, this card arrived in Hong Kong on 20 November, then transit to England. On 26 December arrived in London S.W., but because incorrect address / wrong address, this card was redirected to France, various London transit cds.
The "T" could have been struck by Hong Kong in transit since Proud (p. 1123-1124) does not record this mark under Hoihow. This "T" mark is very similar to Hong Kong UP6 (Proud p.412).
