This volume, compiled by Kathleen Kennedy, chronicles her service as a Staff Assistant for the American Red Cross in London, England, during World War II, primarily between May and July, 1943. A handwritten note in pencil on the front cover reads, “Kathleen Hartington / [Keep/Keys(?)] Keep RFK / July 1949.” Diary entries are inscribed directly on the pre-printed ruled pages in pencil and black ink, as well as typed on the back of American Red Cross notepaper sheets. In her diary entries, Kathleen writes about the completion of her Red Cross training; her preparations for and departure to England, including crossing the Atlantic Ocean aboard the R.M.S. Queen Mary, converted to a troopship; her work at American Red Cross service clubs in London; and dinners, parties, weekend trips, and other social events. Of note is an undated, unstamped, and blank telegram with a handwritten note in black ink signed, "Your loving brother : Kennedy," inserted at the front of the book. Also of note are three handwritten letters written in black or blue ink between Kathleen and her husband, William “Billy” Cavendish, the Marquess of Hartington, placed in an envelope addressed to “Capt. : The Marquess of Hartington : 5th Bn.: Coldstream Guards : British Liberation Army,” in Kathleen’s hand, postmarked July 17, 1944. This volume contains 30 telegrams, 10 typed diary entries, five handwritten letters, four newspaper clippings, three photographic prints, two magazine clippings, and various printed ephemera, including a schedule, vaccine card, matchbox, invitation, shipping ticket, menu, handwritten notes, and miscellaneous booklets and pamphlets.

This volume, compiled by Kathleen Kennedy, documents her marriage to William “Billy” Cavendish, Marquess of Hartington, including his death during World War II, as well as events in the years that followed. It contains diary entries written in blue and black ink and pencil, including some written by Billy Hartington, as well as clippings and printed ephemera. An additional entry on the title page post-dates the album’s creation and is written in a third hand, likely that of Kathleen’s mother, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, or her sister, Eunice Kennedy Shriver. Diary entries are inscribed directly on the ruled pages in pencil and in ink. The bulk of the handwritten entries are from May to July, 1944, and include Kathleen's accounts of the newlywed couple's stay at the Swan Hotel; the bombardment of London, England, with V-1 rockets ("doodlebugs"); and on September 10, 1944, the report of the death of her husband. A later entry details the events of February 27, 1946, when Kathleen met Winston Churchill in Miami, Florida. Also pasted into the diary are newspaper and magazine clippings; a catalog of donations and gifts proffered in a Red Cross Gift Sale, held August 7, 1944, in Tutbury, Staffordshire, England, sponsored by the Meynell Hunt Agricultural Society; and an official numbered programme for the Red Cross and St. John Carnival held July 29, 1944, at the Municipal Sports Ground, Derby, Derbyshire, England, "Under the Patronage of the Marchioness of Hartington" (Kathleen’s title following her marriage to Billy).

This diary, kept by Edward M. "Ted" Kennedy as a 6- and 7-year old child, contains handwritten entries detailing his daily activities from January 1, 1939, through September 9, 1939, while residing at 14 Prince’s Gate in London, England, where the Kennedy family lived during Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.’s tenure as United States Ambassador to Great Britain. The gold stamped title on the cover reads, “Diary / No. 28 / 1939.” Pages contain pre-printed ruling and text, including entry dates, as well as manuscript entries written in black ink. Most entries were not written by Ted, but most likely by Kennedy family nurse, Luella Hennessey, with Ted dictating. Ted’s handwriting appears in entries from July 11, 12, 16, 17, and 18. Entries cover a variety of topics, including Ted’s education at the Gibbs School and St. Thomas More School, both in London; various train and boat rides during the family’s travels; social events, including a party attended by the British royal family at which Ted danced with Princess Elizabeth; outings to parks, zoos, movies, and pantomime performances; and playtime and sports activities with family and friends. Specific events and experiences that Ted mentions include a family trip to St. Moritz, Switzerland; Adolf Hitler’s Reichstag speech; the death of Pope Pius XI; Ted’s seventh birthday, for which he received a new dog, named “Sammy”; the family’s trip to Rome in Italy, as well as the Vatican, during which he received his First Holy Communion from Pope Pius XII; bombings of London by the Irish Republican Army; a visit to the estate of family friend, Sir James Calder, in Norfolk, England; a family trip to Cannes and Antibes in France; events leading up to Great Britain’s declaration of war on Germany, including the relocation of members of the Kennedy family to financier John Pierpont Morgan, Jr.'s country estate in Hertfordshire, England, while awaiting transport back to America; and the sinking of the S.S. Athenia. Luella Hennessey and the Kennedy children's governess, Elizabeth Dunn, also feature prominently throughout the diary. About half of the pages for July and August do not contain entries. The last entry of the diary is September 9, 1939; the remaining pages dated through December 31, 1939, are blank. The diary also contains three loose photographs, one loose newspaper clipping, and one loose printed birthday invitation.
