Transcription
Steigertahl asks Sloane what type of medals he would like for his cabinet. He informs Sloane that he offered Barham’s short treatise to the King. He is going to try to persuade the King to buy shares in a company that manufactures and produces silk in England. Steigertahl sends his compliments to Barham and would like to know what he should do next regarding the business venture. Mr Mustapsa, who recently visited London, thanks and compliments Sloane. Steigertahl has continued giving the King mineral water and ‘kinkina’ at the ‘Herrenhaus’. 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).
