Her father, Duncan Fletcher, was a US Senator, and in August 1921 he sent Kathleen O'Brennan two photos of his daughter, "Nellie". The letter has lots of useful information and is worth a look - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000586819 .

I wonder if the 1928 date on the back of this photo is not the actual date the photo was taken, and this is one of the photos sent with the letter ? Someone will know !

This is likely an engagement photo. A photo in the same outfit is in the NYT pictorial section of August 8, 1915, page 11. memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/np_item.pl?collection=sgproto&... or memory.loc.gov/service/sgp/sgpnyt/1915/191508/19150808/00... Photo credited to Campbell Studio
