Transcription
The insects Sloane sent to ‘Mr le Docteur Weidler’ have arrived. They were carried by Mr Brinckman. Weidler described them in a letter to Steigertahl. The extract has been communicated to ‘Mr le Dr. Hampe’ to be translated into English. Weidler’s remarks may be of use to the public. They may be similar to those of ‘Th. Moufet’ in his ‘Theatro Insectorum’. The comments are related to insecticides. Steigertahl received ‘Le Catalogue de Manuscrits’ from Mr Puls, who is with the King’s suite in Holland. He looks forward to when the King arrives in England. 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).
