Transcription
Mr Hodges has been charged with notifying Steigertahl as to when Sloane will arrive. The King is well, though a page and 2 or 3 domestic workers have fevers. 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).
