Description

Letter from Jane Kenney to Warwick dated 11 July 1953.

Jane writes to her nephew, Warwick, to express her sadness at the passing of her sister and his mother, Annie Kenney, who died on 9 July 1953. “My heart’s love, and my prayers are with Annie for quiet rest and loving reception, and with you all in deepest sympathy. Jane shares her feelings of grief and loss, remembering Annie as having “developed her soul far higher and better than any of the rest of us”. She recalls spending time with Annie in London during WWI, mentioning Lord Northcliffe, publishing magnate and one of the masterminds behind much of the WWI propaganda, calling Annie “the finest little diplomat in Europe”. The letter ends with an emotional call to Annie and an expression of regret for the distance separating Jane from Jessie and the rest of her family.
