Transcription
Mrs Steigertahl is doing well and thanks Sloane for the ‘bon souvenir’. The carrier is Monsieur Pistorius, ‘Conseiller de la cour de Justice’ for ‘Mons. le Comte d’Erpach’. The latter was the son-in-law of the late ‘Mr. le Comte de Bothmer’. Pistorius’ writings have been published in Germany. He would like to view Sloane’s cabinet of curiosities. ‘Mons le Comte’ wants to see it too. Steigertahl thanks Sloane for sending the Philosophical Transactions with Mr Jäger. He received ‘les nouvelles literaires de Nürenberg’. 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).
