Transcription
The King arrived at Herrenhausen in good health eight days ago. In two days Steigertahl will be leaving for Pyrmont to take the waters. He requests that Sloane write to him on medical matters. Mr Brindley has sent books to Mr Jäger, which have to be paid for since Steigertahl’s son forgot to pay for them. He thanks Sloane for the Madeira wine and books. The Duke of York and Prince Frederick send their compliments for the books Sloane sent them. Mrs Steigertahl wishes Sloane well. Steigertahl bid farewell to Mr Scheuchzer. 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).
