Transcription
Steigertahl discusses the late Engelbert Kaempfer’s manuscripts. He has written to Johann Hermann Kaempfer, who is selling his late uncle’s collection. Steigertahl writes of the ‘Catalogue de la Bibliotheque de Winkelers’. The latter’s books are to be sold and Dr Mentzer has offered to purchase the collection for Mr Innys. Lady Townshend is well, as is the King. Johann Georg Steigertahl (1666-1740) was the personal physician to George I of England. He was a member of the Royal Society and secured the purchase of Engelbert Kaempfer’s collection of East Asian curiosities for Sir Hans Sloane in 1723 (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Georg_Steigerthal).
