    United States General Land Office letter to Senator Eugene Casserly

    Manuscripts

    Letter from the United States Department of the Interior, General Land Office, to Senator Eugene Casserly regarding Casserly's proposed Senate Resolution to establish a "law distributing the public lands of the United States in California into different classes with a view to their more speedy settlement and disposition." The Land Office replies with reasons why this plan would be untenable, including the difficulties of defining land value, re-distributing already settled land, the additional surveying costs, and the problem of vandalism over supposed gold and silver deposits.
