Handwritten note on back says "Dear Rose and Willis, We are just having a little drive. Please note the dress, headgear, painted legs, and powerful build of the Zulu. These boys can run like anything with two passengers. The vehicle is called a Ricksha. I suppose if I sent a couple of dozen of these over to Wichita, the street cars would have to go out of business. With love to you and the children. As ever, your brother, Otho."
