Transcription
Steigertahl recommends Mr Fleischbein, who wants to see Sloane’s collection of curiosities. Mr de Berstorf forwarded a letter from Mr Eckard in Hanover. Steigertahl asks that Sloane pass his compliments to Isaac Newton and Dr Haly at the Royal Society’s next assembly. Mr de Bernstorf has a curiosity to show Sloane. Steigertahl would like to know if Sloane hears from Dr Haly, as he would like Haly’s opinion on the above. The King and his sons are 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).
