I send you herewith two Medals which I think are fit to be preserved in our Public Library, as they relate to interresting Events in the History of our Country. The silver one was struck by Order of Congress, in honour of M. Fleury, who was the first that entred the Fort at Stony Point when taken by Gen. Wayne, for whom another of the same Impression was struck in Gold. The Copper one is a Copy of one struck by me, partly as a grateful Compliment to France for the Assistance afforded us; and partly to record the two great Events of the Taking Burgoyne and Cornwallis with their Armies. I presented one of these in Gold to the King and another to the Queen, which were extremely well taken. I distributed also a Number of Silver ones among the Ministry, and the Officers of the French Army that had served in America. I am Your’s respectfully
