1909 (Mar 14) Shangkaohsien, Kiangsi to Ontario, Canada, C.I.P. 4th stationery card,
it was stamped with a special circled postmark from Shangkaohsien, Kiangsi without date. It was then stamped with a bilingual branch postmark from Juichowfu, Kiangsi (Jiyou February 25), a Kiukiang bilingual circled cds (19 March), and a Shanghai bilingual semi-cut circled cds (23 March). In Shanghai, it was transferred to the British P.O. for delivery abroad. On the back, it was stamped with a Canadian arrival mark (1 May 1909). The special small round postmark from Shangkaohsien, Kiangsi is rare in itself, and particularly scarce example for international mail.
