_To the Honourables_
MAJOR WILLIAM PIERCE and NATHANIEL PENDLETON, Esquire, of
Georgia, and LIEUTENANT-COLONEL LEWIS MORRIS[46], MAJOR THOMAS
SHUBRICK and MAJOR HYRNE, of South Carolina, formerly aids of
the late General GREENE.

Sir: It gives me pleasure to have an opportunity of transmitting
to you, by order of Congress, a copy of the medal struck by their
direction in honour of the late General Greene. A variety of
circumstances conspire to render this work of public attention
acceptable to you, though I am persuaded none among them will
more immediately affect the feelings, than the relation it bears
to that great man, whose loss you in particular, and the people
of America in general, have great reason to regret and lament.

I have the honour to be, etc.
John JAY.

The latter, an Indian queen (_America_), holds in her left hand a
lance, a shield with thirteen stars (_the thirteen original United
States_), and the end of a chain which binds a leopard (_Great
Britain_), on
