rial Of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 2sth of September 1880, that they are informed
and believe that the Indicated warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be.
,ha, thew 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 il permitted to seP the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assumes
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands. nre not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them nre among the most INTEL
lgent and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
NAV he 80 modified AZ to make the warrants Tor
