Letter, Ruth Farrer (Secretary to the Imperator of the Rosicrucian Order) to Mr Turnbull, (Master of the Francis Bacon Chapter, Surrey) to which Jessie Kenney (1887-1985) belonged in response to Turnbull's writing to inform the Order of Annie Kenney’s passing, written on 5/8/1953. Annie’s funeral was conducted following Rosicrucian ceremony and her ashes were scattered across the Yorkshire moors, which she loved as a child. In this letter, the Order extends its ‘heartfelt sympathy’ to the family of this ‘remarkable woman’, who was a member of the ‘Imperator’s personal class’. In the last years of her life, Annie completed a spiritual autobiography manuscript entitled 'And All the Yesterdays', based on principles of her Rosicrucian beliefs and was a dedicated member of the Rosicrucian Order until her death.
