MS written by a clerk. The list may have accompanied M to F. von Krauss, 1 February
1872 (in this edition as 72-02-01b), in which M refers to sending this case, or it may be the list that Sonder in May
1872 told Krauss he was forwarding after receiving it from M (see W. Sonder to F.
von Krauss, 20 May 1872 (in this edition as M72-05-20)). The latter is more likely
since Sonder refers to the case's including a package that needed to be forwarded
to August Petermann, as does this list. There is a pencilled note by M at the top of
the list: '[…] braun gemalt' [… painted brown].

Tas? Though the clerk wrote 'f' (= für), it is most unlikely that M would have asked
Krauss to forward this item; the entry must refer to a parcel from Georgetown, not
one intended for it.
