Transcription
Steigertahl thanks Sloane for allowing some of his acquaintances to view his collection of curiosities. His wife has been sad since the death of her brother. 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).
