[ Elizabeth Benger, English author. ] Four Autograph Letters Signed (all 'E Benger'), two of them to John Thomas Smith of the British Museum, and two to his daughter.

Four 16mo letters, three of them of one page, and the other of two pages. In good condition, on lightly-aged paper. In a crabbed hand. One addressed to 'J T Smith Esqre | British Museum', and another to 'J T Smith Esqre | 22 Carmarthen Street | an answer'. Little more than short notes. In one letter to J. T. Smith she asks him for 'Mr Vance's address, for a married gentleman', in the other she tells him that 'Mrs Martin of Liverpool, whose intimate friends are yours also, [...] wishes to be indebted to your obliging attention'. In one letter to Miss Smith she explains that she has been 'prevented from calling your door but troublesome as I know it to be cannot but beg to be favoured with a bulletin', and in the other she reminds her 'kind friends' that she is expecting them that evening, and making a request regarding 'the table', for which 'indeed am I not your and Papas thankful E Benger'.
