Mr Richard Rush
Sir you will perceive that Mr. Thomley has stated the state & Col's name under which he was mustered into service also the col's name that commanded at the time of his discharge. I as the lawfull attorney of Mr. Thomley concluded that the briefness in which I have drawn up the amendment would be sufficient in addition to the declaration now at Washington. I hope sir that it will be satisfactory to the proper authority for examining
the claims.
I am dear Sir yours most assuredly

The annexed paper, relating to the claim of Thomas Thomley under the abovementioned act, is respectfully referred to the Secretary of War, with a request that he will be pleased to cause me to be informed whether it appears, by any records in the War Department, that the claimant has received, or is entitled to receive the bounty in land granted by Congress for service in the Continental Line of the Army of the Revolution.
R. Rush

The Hon. the SECRETARY OF WAR.

War Department
Bounty Land Office
The Records of this office do not show that Thomas Thomley of the South Carolina line ever received or is entitled to receive bounty land of the United States. It ought to be remarked however that we have in this office no regular returns of the privates of S. Carolina.
