Of the undersigned, respectfully represents tina
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the &C
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 they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that f patented to them. the
expense of agences and taxes will be an ennunI
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid il permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoriasts further represent that the law
by preventing the ssie Of the warrants, assum e,
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them among the most intel
ligent and respectable citizens Of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be 30 modified to make the warrants for
bo,nty lands assignable, and they will ever
