Transcription
Steigertahl thanks Sloane for managing his finances while he is away. The King arrived on Friday and is in good health. The city welcomed Him back with joy. ‘Mr. le comte de Bottsmer’ sends his compliments. One of Bottsmer’s domestic worker fell ill. Steigertahl sends his greetings to Sloane’s family. 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).
