| Notes |
Postcard was sent to Miss Emelia Jonassen of Tacoma, Washington; Wong and Clemens met in the aftermath of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and subsequently married. They opened a curio and tea shop in Chinatown and published a series of postcards of themselves to promote the store. For more information, see Bowen, Robert W and Brenda Young Bowen, San Francisco's Chinatown (South Carolina: Arcadia 2008), 41-6.
