Transcription
Steigertahl was reading the work of the numismatist Mr Evelyn when he came across a medal of ‘la Reyne Marie I, la Catholique Romaine avec l’Inscription Fidei Defensatrix’. He discusses the mottos of Charles I, Charles II, and William and Mary. Steigertahl thanks God that His Royal Highness is well and hopes the Royal Family remains in good health. Mrs Steigertahl sends 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).
