Transcription
Steigertahl reminds Sloane that the King arrived at Herrenhausen on 22 June 1725. They have been at Pyrmont for eight days. The King plans on staying for two weeks. The Townshend family believe the waters are doing them all some good. Steigertahl met with J.H. Kaempfer and discussed the translation of his late uncle Engelbert Kaempfer’s ‘Histoire du Japon’. Mr Scheuchzer is going to be the translator. 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).
