Dear Alastair,
In 'The Letters of Rudyard Kipling, Vol. 6' Index there is a reference:
Harriman, Grace V 235, 236.

A> In Carrie's diaries for 1925, there is an entry when they were in Paris
A> on 11 April to the effect that they had met "American friends, the
A> Harrimans". Neither Carrington nor Lycett mention this meeting (which
A> was probably entirely social, and so not particularly significant,
A> biographically.
A> Can anyone idemtify "the Harrimans", please? I have a sort of feeling
A> that I've seen a reference to them somewhere (there's nothing gained
A> from a sourch of the KJ archive), but the only Harrimans I can think of
A> are Averell (FDR's special representative to the UK in the early `40s)
A> and his father, the railroad magnate. But (not that it matters greatly)
A> neither was a contemporary of RK - he came between them, in age terms.
