Transcription
Steigertahl visited J. Munchhausen’s garden with several other men. Munchhausen thanks Sloane for the package he sent, but requests an explanation of English terms. His Majesty is doing well. 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).
