Transcription
The Duchess of Kendel thanks Sloane for taking care of the Comte de Lippe in Steigertahl’s absence. The King is well, as is Mr Hodges. 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).
