Includes an un-canceled United States .03 cent National Capital Sesquicentennial stamp mounted to a 5” x 3” backing sheet on which Chinese President Chiang Kai-shek has signed his name in Chinese characters along the right side of the stamp.

Included is the one-page typed transmittal letter on Office of the President Republic of China letterhead, Taipei, Taiwan, June 8, 1962, signed by Chiang Kai-shek’s secretary, with the original transmittal envelope.
