Transcription
Mr Mehmet informed Steigertahl that the King will be dining in Kensington. Steigertahl hopes to see Sloane during his stay in London. He was glad to hear that the Comte de Lippe is doing well. Mrs Steigertahl sends on her compliments. 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).
