This photograph album, likely compiled by Eunice Kennedy, documents various moments in the lives of the Kennedy family from 1950 to 1953, particularly at their residence in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, and at other locations on Cape Cod. An original typed inscription taped on the front pastedown reads, "I should appreciate it if no one remove pictures from this book. If you do so, it will not be so interesting for other people. Personally, I should like to keep all the pictures to look at myself, because as you know we lost all the moving pictures of you children. Many of these pictures have been lost in the past, due to the clamor of newspapermen, so please do not remove any more. Thank you. Rose Kennedy." In addition to Eunice, those pictured include her parents, Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy; siblings, John F. Kennedy, Patricia Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Jean Kennedy, and Edward M. Kennedy; sister-in-law, Ethel Skakel Kennedy; cousin, Joseph Francis “Joe” Gargan, Jr.; and family friends, including Edward E. “Eddie” Moore and Mary Moore, Kirk LeMoyne “Lem” Billings, United States Senator Joseph “Joe” McCarthy, and journalist Frank Conniff.

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.

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.

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.

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.
