Transcription

‘Madame d’Hattorf et Messieurs d’Eiden’ send their regards. They want to thank Sloane for inviting them to meet him at noon. Steigertahl and his wife are invited too. 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).
