By accessing the catalog I meant finding the actual publication by Kobylańska, be it in pdf or a physical copy, to read the commentary and likely see the fascimile of the manuscript.
Luckily, I found the manuscript elsewhere. I was hoping they would be complete pieces, but in fact these are only two short sketches.

That manuscript was supposedly sent by George Sand along with her letter to Stefan Witwicki. The letter in question was resent several times and owned by different people.
- George Sand -> Stefan Witwicki (letter dated 22 March 1844)
- Stefan Witwicki -> Karolina Mężeńska (17 April 1844)
- Mężeńska's granddaughter, also named Karolina -> Zygmunt Mycielski (31 January 1929)
Zygmunt Mycielski published the letters (translated into Polish) and the sheet music of the sketch in the Polish magazine Muzyka (issue R.7 nr1 from 20 January 1930).
Here's the issue of the magazine. See the musical fragment on page 12.

After reading the letters, it seems neither Sand nor Witwicki indicated that there was any sheet music attached. It was Karolina Mężeńska (the granddaughter) who wrote that the manuscript had been put into the envelope by Sand.
What do you mean by accessing the catalog to be more exact?
Since It's taken from the catalog of Chopin's works by Krystyna Kobylańska, maybe we would get more info if we could access the catalog?
