Transcription
Steigertahl writes that the mineral waters work wonders and His Majesty is in ‘bonne sante’. Several persons are staying at the ‘maisons de campagne’ as part of their retinue. 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).
