Transcription
Princess Amelia is in much better health. Mr Mustapsa is feeling better after a bout of sickness. The catalogue of the Abbé de Loccum’s collection has not yet been published. The King wants to buy the latter’s library. Mr Rosinus’ collection is for sale too. Mr and Mrs Stealy send their 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).
