Letter (1 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
He has received no note from Irving about the proposed luncheon with Baroness Coutts, nor no word from her and so thinks there may have been some mistake. |
| Published: |

| Notes: |
A letter from Baroness Burdett Coutts dated 10th January refers to a proposed dinner; so there must have been a failure of communication. |

Letter (3 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
There was evidently a misunderstanding with Stoker last Saturday for which Irving apologises - Irving is the last to wish to cause pain to an old and valued friend like Kenney. He had told Stoker to tell Kenney he would gladly do whatever he could to further the matter Kenney spoke to him about - and if Kenney would tell him what to do would do it at once... He will offer no excuse, but Kenney knows how many things have to be looked over. |

| Notes: |
The matter is not recorded. Kenney died later that year. |
