This photo is stamped 1910, Denver, Colorado.  The donkey's name is Lizzie, and it is believed to be from Agnes Veronica Sheehy (Sister Mary Baptist, sister of Thomas Normoyle Sheehy), and is addressed to E J Sheehy (Edmund John Sheehy, brother of Thomas Normoyle Sheehy). The card reads as follows: "Dear Brother, There isn't any post office up here. Its five miles and a half to the post-office (around the road) so Agnes and I took "Lizzie" and went down (I rode down and she rode back) to get the mail for the crowd. Lizzie is a pretty good looking animal. There is an artist here and he said "I want one of these, its so good of LIzzie". I received your card from Lincoln. I am glad you went down. They are going to have air ship flights in Denver Sept 7. Roger is coming up Saturday and we are going over the Moffat Road. I hope tha you and "Cap" are well.         Agnes "
