From The friendships of Mary Russell Mitford as recorded in letters from her literary correspondents Volume 2 Page 306 Final letter from Mary Russell Mitford

Miss Mitford to Mrs. Bennoch. 7 January 1855.

Thanks, dearest Mrs. Bennoch, for all your goodness past and present. May God long bless you and your dear husband with everything that kind hearts can wish!

There is wonderful vitality in me, and I have rallied to a certain point. But I must write no more notes or letters. They say that exhaustion of the brain from writing brought on the sickness that alarmed everyone on New Year's Day.

Your dear husband must come and see me — I suppose the 27th, but will let him know if not.

Ever yours,

M. R. MITFORD.

Mary Russell Mitford died on the 10 January 1855.

Letter from Sarah Orne Jewett to Mary Rice Jewett, London Tuesday, 20 June 1882

Dear Mary ...

Today dear old Mrs. Bennoch* came in early, and afterward we started out afoot and poked into some nice shops, where you would be much happier if you could buy everything you saw! We didn’t come home to lunch, but took some tarts to keep us alive at a nice French shop way down Regent Street. Then we skipped in a Hansom cab of extra speed to a charity meeting at over in St Mary-le Bone road (which you were to mention as Merril-bun if you mentioned it properly!) It was very interesting and we didn’t stay so long as I should have liked. They were talking over various ‘cases’ and they were very edifying. We came home just in time to see Miss Octavia Hill whose coming gave Mrs. Fields no end of pleasure, for she is the head and front of charioteering and a most lovely woman. It was really a great thing to have met her. I have seen some very pleasant people.

[Footnote: Mrs. Bennoch: Francis Bennoch and his wife were London friends of the Hawthorne family. Bennoch was head of a wholesale silk business, a member of parliament, and a patron of authors and literature. See Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine, Volume 33 (1887), Page 897]

Letter from Annie Adams Fields to Judy / Louisa Adams Beal

Dearest Judy and all, ...

Our old friends Mr. & Mrs Bennoch* are quite well and kinder than I can express. They did not wish to let us go out of their home, but of course it was better for us to be independent, time in London is so valuable and runs on both feet at such a rate!

[Footnote *: Mr. & Mrs Bennoch: Julian Hawthorne (1846-1934) was the son of the American author, Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864). Julian and his first wife, Minnie Amelung Hawthorne (1848-1925), named their first son John Francis Bennoch Hawthorne (1872-1960), after Francis Bennoch, a friend of the two families during their residences in London. Bennoch was head of a wholesale silk business, a member of parliament, and a patron of authors and literature. See also The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine, Volume 33 (1887), Page 897.]
