This Letter Book contains documents relating to the Dalquharran Castle and Kennedy Estate (in relation to Francis Thomas Romilly Kennedy, 1842-1892), numerous other individuals, notably the great-great-grandson and namesake of Robert Burns 1844-96, but also MPs, merchants, and trades. A fascinating record of Edinburgh society in 1893.
