Sir,
The papers in the case of Thomas Glaze have been examined, and they are herewith returned. The rolls of service of the South Carolina line in this Office afford no proof in support of the applicant’s claim. One other witness is therefore required, in conformity with the enclosed regulations. He also claims for eighteen months continuous service as a Captain of a militia company of Cavalry from October 1781. The militia served in short tours only, under one engagement. Each tour of actual service should therefore be particularly specified: see regulations, enclosed. Unless the applicant was regularly commissioned by the proper authorities, and can produce direct proof of his service in each tour, an allowance cannot be made at a higher rate of pension than that of a private. The official characters and signature of the Clerk of the Court before which the declaration was made, should be certified as required in note & in the enclosed sheet. It should also be stated why, if the applicant served in a continental regiment, he did not, long ago, apply for a pension under the act of March 18, 1818. In order to throw some light on the subject respecting the applicant’s enlistment in 1776, he should state whether any relative of his enlisted with him, and if so, his name should be given.
I have the honor to be
Very respectfully
Your Obd. Servt.

My dear [illegible]
I am sorry to be
compelled to return you the papers
of Mr. Glaze. The objections to his
admission on the Pension Act are
set forth in the enclosed letter of
the pension agent. Whom removed
the difficulty will be at an end.
To numerous have been the hands
practiced or the Department, that
a perfect argument of [illegible]

The State of Alabama Circuit Court
Fayette County
for [illegible] County 
Apl Term 1833
personally appeared in open court
Thomas Glaze who after being duly sworn
deposeth & saith in answer to the objection
made by the war Department,
States that he knows of no other person
living by whom he can prove his services
by other than the individual whose
affidavit has accompanied the papers
This applicant answers the objection to that
part of the deposition relative to the 
continuous service in 1781.
by stating that the
Brittish at that time had taken the country
& that this applicant was detered from
remaining at home in consequence of
this fact & that he considered it dangerous
for him to be found at home as his
life was severely threatened by the enemy
as to that part relative to his duties as an officer this applicant cannot prove matters as 
required by the
Department, there being no one to his
knowledge [crossed out word] now living by whom
he could prove the matter
The reason why this applicant did
not long since under the Act of 1818
apply for pension was that he considered
himself independent & able to support
himself
To the last suggestion made by your
Department
Your applicant 
answers that his brother Samuel Glaze did enlist with him & serve the whole time that this applicant served and that his said brother
