(3) tied by indistinct Peking c.d.s. with Tientsin arrival alongside. Offered with the original enclosure "Dear Miss Handley Page, Though I have not had the honour to be introduced to you I am venturing to write & tell you that this is one of the first ever letters carried by air in China, in one of your father's aeroplanes".
