Transcription
Steigertahl received the mission statement of the new ‘Societé de Nurenberg’ from Bronsoie. He encloses an extract of the text and will send a full copy soon. Steigertahl will forward news of developments in German medical practice. The fever epidemic is still a problem. Besneau described the situation to Steigertahl. Mrs Steigertahl sends her regards. 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).
