Luciano Canfora, writing in Italian about Artemidorus, mentions a Simonides letter to Hodgkin which is about the assistance with Sinaiticus, which may be the same letter, Google mangle English, small tweaks, and the Italian.

“It is the same Hodgkin whom, in March 1864, from Paris, Simonidis wrote telling his own discoveries of Greek codexes and advocating every possible initiative in the dispute over the Sinaiticus.”

“È lo stesso Hodgkin cui, nel marzo 1864, da Parigi, Simonidis scriveva raccontando le proprie scoperte di codici greci e caldeggiando ogni possibile iniziativa nella disputa sul Sinaitico.”

What an incredible letter that we would want to read. Remember, Simonides gave various people involved. We know that Hodgkin helped in some areas, like the lithography question in Odessa. Perhaps there will be specifics about where Simonides wanted more effort in the corroboration efforts. At the very least, we would pick up lots of hints from tone.
