Transcription
Steigertahl was glad to hear the crate of books arrived safely. Mr Schlüter has returned. He reported that Sloane is happy with the cost of the books. Steigertahl received Mr Southall’s short treatise. He writes that each book in Sloane’s library is worth reading and promises to continue purchasing books printed in Germany on his behalf. 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).
