Eight women in western dress and wide-brimmed hats sit astride horses lined up across a grassy field, with a narrow band of blue water and pale sky behind them. The printed caption calls them 'Cow Girls on 101 Ranch. OKLAHOMA.' The ranch, run by the Miller brothers, was a working ranch in Oklahoma and the base of a Wild West show that toured the United States and Europe in the early 1900s. Its cowgirls were among the show's popular attractions, and the sender writes that she and Julia expected to go down to the ranch.
