Giovanni Giacomo Zamboni was the chargé d’affaires of the Prince of Darmstadt in England. A chargé d’affaires is a diplomat who heads an embassy in the absence of the ambassador. Zamboni thanks Sloane for ‘getting [his] nephew admitted into the Royal Society’. Everything destined for Dresden is in his possession and ‘whatever you purpose to send to Dr. Heucher will be ready’.
