12mo (leaf dimensions 18 x 11 cm): 2 pp. Twenty-one lines of text, complete and legible. On aged paper with some wear at head. Casting interesting light on the workings of the provincial Victorian booktrade. Kinsman states: 'I will have much pleasure in helping you all that I can in the Bibliography of your County: and as a start to begin with I send you 2 dozen of my Catalogues in which there must be many Staffordshire natives as Authors.' He offers to collate books for Simms, or to 'send the Books themselves for your inspection or purchase (that is such as may be still on hand) you returning them at once when collated.' He asks for the catalogues to be returned once finished with, as 'Of some of my Catalogues not sent I have not a single copy left and of some sent I have only these copies.' Simms lost both hands in childhood and learnt to write with a contraption attached to one of the stumps. His 'Bibliotheca Staffordiensis' was published in a limited edition in 1894.

Freeman's letter is on the last of five folio pages, each on a separate leaf, sent to him by Simms, giving, for correction, the proposed entry on Freeman in the future 'Bibliotheca Staffordiensis'. In fair condition, on aged paper. On the first page Simms has given a brief biographical description of Freeman; the middle three pages comprise a numbered list of twenty-three of Freeman's books, with dates, and the last page carries a rather optimistic request by Simms for information regarding 'Contribution to Periodicals, Magazines, &c. Giving Number a year of Serial - Pages occupied - &c'. Freeman has corrected a couple of titles in the list, and on the fifth page of the document he gives the names of what he calls in the letter his five 'latest books'. The letter begins 'Sir, | I have added my latest books which are not on the list. I suppose everything that is wanted to be known would be found in the books themselves. I certainly have no time to go through the pages of all or to make a list, say, of my contributions to the Saturday Review, which seems to be asked for.' He concludes 'It is quite impossible for me to undertake all the labour that I am asked.' Although not published until 1894, ten years after this letter, Freeman's entry in the 'Bibliotheca Staffordiensis' does no more than incorporate Freeman's emendations.
