Caption: This was taken in Hankow on the bund (street along river). In the background are the foreign buildings, home of consul, etc. There are other rickhas [sic] all around. Notice the rubber tires, and if whole thing showed, you would see a top like on a baby carriage. Hope you will get a ride in a ricsha [sic] when you come to visit us. Soon we travel in sedan chairs.
