    "I. P. League Office, Gable & [?]" - Title inscribed on verso of photograph.

    Perhaps Mr Gable is phoning his friend Dorothy ?!

    I assume "I.P.League" was the Irish Progressive League which had it's office at 229 Lexington Avenue. NY. The man on the phone might be the poet Peter Golden who was General Secretary and who along with his sister Helen founded the IP league.

    American writer Charmian "Clara" Kittredge, 1871-1955.

    "[In the 1890s] An avid horseback rider, she created a split skirt to ride astride, this during a time women rode sidesaddle..." (Wikipedia)

    She was the second "Mrs Jack London".

    An account of her colourful life

    Is this the first time that we know a horse’s name?

    “It was in the spring of 1913, when the Wolf House was near completion, that London became rededicated to develop a progressive and functional ranch operation. In order to achieve this vision, he studied all available pamphlets and flyers, to assure that he was up to date on farming methods and available resources. But Jack remained determined not to convert to machine power like many of his neighboring ranchers, but would succeed by the use of horsepower. He felt this could be accomplished through the use of draft horses pulling the equipment. London took a break from writing and made a trip to inspect Percheron Shires and Belgian horses. Jack became aware of a light bay, Shire stallion with a white face and four white legs that had been born in England in 1908 and had once been a champion in England purchased by Henry Wheatly and brought to the United States. This Shire had also been judged as a champion at the California State Fair in 1912. When London made arrangements to travel to the Salvador Stock farm in Napa, he wrote to a friend in Oregon,
    “…And what do you think, at this moment of rejoicing, make this letter too short? I am just hiking away across country to buy a 2300 lb. three year old imported Shire stallion for breeding purposes on the ranch. I promise you some ranch and some horses, when you and your wife get down here next time.”

    Jack did purchase the Shire stallion, Neuadd Hillside and the mare, Princess Cockington. London continued to work with his publisher on advanced royalties to handle the expense of completing the stone house and the $2500 he paid for Neuadd Hillside. London kept the editor up-to-date to justify the accounting of the horses as a business venture on the ranch,

    Suck Diesel Huge Bualadh Bos, Mr Diesel! I think it is the first time we've found out a horse's name! And thank goodness for the detailed description. Definitely Neuadd Hillside. Otherwise I'd have had to screw in the old monocle to examine the undercarriage, to check if this was the mare, Princess Cockington!

    Suck Diesel Also helps us towards an approximate date - 1913.

    I could be convinced that the writing at the bottom, which is presumably where the Julia Bradshaw title comes from, also says Los Angeles

    Niall McAuley I could be convinced that you're right...

    On Kathleen O'Brennan, the dib.ie says In 1918/19, she undertook a lecture tour in the USA, speaking on Sinn Féin, the place of women in the Irish republic, and Feis Ceoil.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    From Wikipedia:
    According to research by historian Catherine M Burns, O'Brennan arrived in America in October 1914 and stayed there for longer than expected due to the difficulty of transatlantic travel during the First World War. Working as a journalist and lecturer, O'Brennan traveled to California and Oregon and spoke to women's organisations as an authority on the Gaelic league and Irish art and culture.

    Her lectures included details she got from her sisters and photos of Éamonn Ceannt and his son, Rónán.

    ... She became involved in the IWW through Dr Marie Equi, with whom she had a romantic relationship. When Equi was arrested, O'Brennan worked to see her released and continued to agitate until her own arrest in 1919 during the Red Scare....

    O'Brennan founded the Women's Irish Education League in San Francisco in May 1919.
