The following reply card was sent from USA to Burma, but interestingly it was redirected twice within Burma. Both portions of the reply card were still attached. The reply portion remains unused.
The card is addressed to Mr S. G. Grantham of Land Mortgage Banks who is deliverable by RANGOON SECRETARIAT PO. It was sent from New York on 2 Mar 1929, arrived to Rangoon Secretariat. The PO attempted to deliver the card twice on 9 and 10 Apr 1929. As the addressee was moved to Henzada, the card was forwarded to Circuit House, Henzada on 10 Apr 1929, by handwriting and striking out Secretariat, Rangoon. The card arrived to HENZADA and attempted to deliver on 12 Apr 1929.
Unfortunately, Mr S.G. Grantham was no longer in Henzada. He moved to Maymyo and the card had to be redirected again to MAYMYO, Hillbrow. Finally, the card was delivered to the addressee successfully on 14 Apr 1929. But he did not respond by tearing off the reply portion and send back to U.S.A. Or may be he did by other means.
