In November 2024, Chelsea Teale of the New Netherland Research Center published an article in the journal of the Lewes Historical Society, Lewes History.
In the article, Dr. Teale provides a transcription of a 1661 medicine chest sent to what is now New Castle, Delaware by the City of Amsterdam. The city also sent a new surgeon, Jacob Kommer.
The Dutch-language list of contents includes predictable tools like tourniquets and basins, but also 20 different botanicals for use in medicines.
