Tru;,,d S,ates in Congress assembled: The memoria
of the undersigned, respectfully represents tina
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under the nc
Of 5sth Of September, 1850, tina, they informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or dssireSto reside on the
land thus granted; that il patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid il permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoriaists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, assun es
that tho officers and volunteers entitled TO bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them ARE among the most intel
ligent and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
