PREFACE.
THE following are the chief sources on which I
have relied in the preparation of this biography: --
1. About twenty pages of memoranda jotted
down by Mr. Simms, probably forming the com-
mencement of the "elaborate autobiography" to
which Allibone refers.
2. About one hundred and seventy-five letters
addressed by Simms to Hayne, Beverley Tucker,
John J. Bockie, W. H. Ferris, W. Porcher Miles,
and others.
3. More than one thousand letters addressed to
Simms by correspondents from all parts of the
Union, covering well the period from 1845 to
1870. These letters were given to Mr. W. Haw-
kins Ferris, of Brooklyn, N. Y., whose son and
namesake kindly placed them at my disposal.
4. Letters written to myself by personal friends
of Mr. Simms in answer to various questions.
5. Notes of conversations had with descendants
and friends of Mr. Simms.
