i.e. Blackith; M's shipping agents in London. Great Britain sailed from Melbourne on 5 May 1869 (Argus, 6 May 1869, p. 4).
Some months earlier, M had advised Nordlinger to seek Joseph Hooker's help in obtaining freshly cut timber specimens but Hooker had been unable to help, leading Nordlinger to send Hooker's letter about this to Krauss with a request that he forward it to M (H. von Nordlinger to F. Krauss, 31 January 1869; RB MSS M3, Library, Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne). The letters from M to Nordlinger and Hooker to Nordlinger have not been found.
MS annotation by Krauss: 'Nr 511. Liste der Hölzer aus N. Holland | von Dr. F. v. Müller Aug. 1869', and in pencil 'mit aufbewahren!' [List of timbers from New Holland, from Dr F. von Mueller, August 1869] and [to be kept!]. MS dated to May 1869, since this is when the specimens were shipped (see below)..
