1931 DECEMBER
19:
SHANGHAI
to MANILA
MANILA POST
OFFICE / CARRIER-IN- CHARGE NO. / JAN 4 1932 cds to denote a failed attempt
to deliver the letter. Then marked with boxed-in REASON FOR NON-DELIVERY
violet notice plus JAN 5 and JAN 6 1932 single date line in violet on front
and back. Cover then placed in the list of unclaimed mail per ADVERTISED
MAIL / MANILA, P.I. / JAN 25 1932 violet cds.
Letter marked
UNCLAIMED and sent to Dead Letter Office, received with MANILA / P.I. /
FEB 8 1932 steel duplex in black.
Then processed
per DEAD LETTER OFFICE / BUREAU OF POSTS / FEB 10 1932 cds. The boxed BUREAU
OF POSTS / DEAD LETTER OFFICE / FEB 27 1932 / MANILA, P.I. marking in violet
could mean either the letter being process for disposal or
to be returned
per boxed-in REBUTS notice.
I have no explanation
on why the boxed REBUTS notice is under the China stamp tied with the SHANGHAI
dispatch cds. |
