LNRENCH SPOLIATIONS PRIOR TO 1900.
Il The original claimants whose memorials were
heretofore presented to Congress having since filing
them very generally departed this life, and it being
indispensable that their successors, in whatever
character, should now make themselves known to
Congress by new memorials that their Repre-
sentatiyes in either House may have knowledge of
them and of their claims by direct communications,
the duly appointed Agent of said original claim
ants, have this day addressed circular letter,
with printed forms of memorial, to all their
cessors of whom ] have present knowledge; but,
inasmuch very many Of them have not made
themselves known to me, all such respectfully
requested to make immediate application to me by

that the same be executed and presented to Con-
gress at the opening of the session in December
next, it being confidently expected that bill for
