Transcription

As ‘les Mademoiselles Kneller’ could not travel to England they have returned the package to Steigerthal. They came down with an indisposition. The contents of the package include the ‘Commerces literaires de Nurenberg’ with the titles and index. He will send them as soon as possible. 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).
