Transcription
Steigertahl has received several short treatises. His wife has been reading them along with the latest English gazettes, sent by Mr Jäger. She sends her compliments to Sloane. Mr Rosinus and his brother have died. The latter took care of Mr Rosinus’ cabinet. Mr Hugo informed Steigertahl that the inheritors of Rosinus’ estate want to sell the collection. He believes the catalogue will soon be published and that the collection is valued at ‘quatre mille Ecus’. He will send word when he learns more. 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).
