A pair of letters for Mr. James Kenworthy (1814 to 1881), both penned on machine-made paper in 1846 and presenting one side with a one penny red stamp of Queen Victoria.

It discusses where James and the writer would like to reside, be it England, Ireland, or America and signs off quite snarky, stating near the end, "…if you see Dan just give my compliments to the old thief and kick his backside," and adding, "P.S. If you can possibly get a chance to steal some portion of the…just distribute it amongst those poor miserable ragged urchins that crawl along your proud beautiful sheets. This would be true Christian Charity." The other letter was sent to Paris, France and written on August 4th. It discusses a matter regarding Kenworthy's half of 10 pounds.
