Extract from General Wayne's Speech in the House of Representatives of the United States, on the 20th Ult. in Support of the Petition of Mrs. Catherine Greene, Widow of the late General Greene.

"From my first Interview with General Greene, until the Moment of his Dissolution, we always lived in the strictest Habits of Friendship and Confidence--He was an Officer with whom I had participated of almost every Vicissitude of Fortune (in many a well-tried Field) from the frozen Waters of the north. to the burning Sands of the South--He was a Man whose Virtues and Talents I knew and revered --his noble Soul would have revolted at the Idea of Imposition--he never would have offered in a CLAIM to Congress, but upon the purest Principles of Honour and Justice. , I was witness to the pressing Necessity that compelled him to become the Surety, for which Indemnity is now claimed--he did what I would have done (as second in Command) had he been absent at that trying Crisis. The Claim I know to be just--and I am decidedly of opinion that he was drawn into that Security from the Situation in which he was placed--by Congress, as Commander in Chief of the Southern Department."
