"The Uffenbach brothers have decided to depart from Amsterdam soon. Uffenbach notes several cabinets that he had read about and were not available anymore, including Swammerdam, Abraham Quina, Blaeu, Bruyn, Colbius, Ruders and Hudde. Uffenbach identifies Monconys's Renterhent ["Rentre Heent"; RKD excerpts no. 766805] as Laurens van der Hem, and the unnamed apothecary [RKD excerpts no. 766807] as Jan Swammerdam. He adds that the painter mentioned by Monconys had died in England [RKD excerpts no. 766808]. The glass-factory that Monconys visited [RKD excerpts no. 766817] was according to Uffenbach on the Keizersgracht, but had been closed in the meantime. Uffenbach had asked several Jews about the model of the temple of Salomo."
