f.w. SYS Silver Yuan ovpt. Ilung stamps x 2 and SYS Silver Yuan x 2, totally 28c Silver Yuan, matching domestic registered postage, tied by East Szechuan Ilung cds. The cover arrived in Chungking on (Aug 6), but was redirected to Canton on (Aug 8) due to a misunderstanding by the post office, which believed the Supreme Court had relocated to Canton. After reaching Canton, the letter was returned to Chungking on (Sep 20) and forwarded to Shapingpa on (Sep 22). This cover illustrates the postal confusion caused by the ongoing relocation of Nationalist government institutions during the final phase of the Chinese Civil War.
