To The Senate and House Of Representatives. offhe
yr,;t,d STATES in-Consress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned respectfully represents that
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th OF September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more TO them than the patented lands would be,
that thev do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that If patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge. reducing the value Of the grant, which
thew could avoid if permitted to SCI the warrant
Your memorolsts further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assume ei
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands. are not competent TO act for themselves,
whereas many Of them among the most intel
eent and respectable citizens of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
NAV be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands essignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
