Irish seat of Kathleen Kennedy and her husband, William Cavendish, Marquess of Hartington, who was heir to the dukedom and eventually to Lismore. He died near the end of the
war, as did Kathleen shortly thereafter; he a wartime military
air fatality and she in a private plane in 1948.
In her book, Deborah Dowager Duchess (she refers to her late
husband as Andrew Duke) recalls an amusing letter from Bobby Kennedy in which he writes about his friend, Sean Keating,
whom he suggested to help her raise money for the Queen���s
Institute of District Nursing in Eire:
Sean Keating, who is going to raise all the money for
your damn nurses is going to Ireland. He would like
to go fishing at our family estate which is presently in
your name. Would you let him? He will raise even
more money.
