To the Senate and House Of Representatives Of IN,
United STATES IN Congress assembled: The memorial
Of the Undersigned, respectfully represents that
they 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,
land thus granted; that IL patented to them. the
expense Of agencies and taxes will I've an annual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid IL permitted to sell the warrant,
Your memoriaiists further represent, that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assumes
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent u act for themselves,
whereas many Of them among the most INTEL
ligent and respectable citizens Of the States They
therefore respectfully nsk that tho act aforesaid
may be 70 modified to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignabe, and they will ever
pray, &c.
