MEMORIAL.

To The Senate and House Of Representatives. ofihs
limited States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
,hev are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th OF September, 1880, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
thai thew do not expect desire to reside on the
land thus granted, that If patented to them, the
EXPENSE Of agencies and taxes will be an arual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
thew could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoriallsts further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun 81
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent TO act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
Igent and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may he so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignabls, and they viii ever
pray, &c.
