...for Genl. Morgan, Wayne, Stewart Etc were 2. I. the drawings sent me yesterday were 4. I. diameter. I understand it is to be engraved but still it should be understood to be made from a dye, which is impossible; no dye can by any force be made to impress so large a surface. I believe Indian medals have been engraved as large as this; but taste has never been consulted as to these. I submit...

14From Thomas Jefferson to Willink & Van Staphorst, 11 March 1789 (Jefferson Papers)
I informed you in my last that confiding in the effect of the loan and the appropriation of it, and pressed for time, I had made positive contracts for the Dyes of the medals which were already in considerable forwardness. These contracts amount to about ten thousand florins, and cannot now be deferred. But these dyes, tho’ they must be paid for, will be useless without the addition of an equal...
