Unif,d STATES In Congress assembled The memo.
rial Of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled 10 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,
that they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that " 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 memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, assume
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 be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignabIe, and they will ever
pray, &c.
