Transcription
Fischer inquires whether Petiver received the letter he sent “from Paris 3 months ago[.]” Fischer insists he has done his best to serve Petiver in everything he “did charge” him with. Fischer informs Petiver that he has obtained 150 plants “and having brought them here by sea out of France … and will send them … next week perhaps by a Dutch Shipper call’d Kryn [Masters?] which will arrive at Lon-don[.]” Fischer welcomes Petiver to call upon him in Amsterdam. (Another individual is mentioned in the letter but their name could not be accurately deciphered – appears to be [Mr. Maillant?]. Bottom of letter is not visible on microfilm). Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach (died April 5, 1723, Vienna) was an Austrian sculptor, architect and architectural historian. Fischer’s Baroque architectural style played an important role in shaping the architectural tastes of the Habsburd Empire.
