In early December 1949, PLA had already taken over Kwangtung and Kwangsi. The letter was probably sent from Nanning to Hong Kong by service. However, due to the insurrection of the two KMT aviation companies, domestic airmail service from Hong Kong to Taiwan was not available. This letter was most likely sent by surface to Taipei.
