[April 1852]
				Rowan Co N. C. April 1852
To the Hon. Comr of Pensions
Dear Sir
	Some two or three weeks since I gave a Power of attorney to Mr. Wm. E. 
Jones of the State of Tennessee authorizing him to act as my Agent to procure 
my Mother Elizabeth Dickey's (now deceased) pension for the services of my 
Father Captain John Dickey in the army of the Revolution.  The papers and 
evidences of which case were procured and forwarded to the Department by Mr. 
W. F. Cowan of Iredell County North Carolina who was my Mother's proper agent 
during her lifetime and my proper agent since her death.
	I would state I live in a different county distant some twenty five or 
thirty miles from my said agent.  I had not seen or heard anything from him on 
the subject for some considerable length of time.  I thought he had perhaps 
abandoned the case.  I without thinking or reflecting much on the subject 
empowered the above named person to the very great injustice of Mr. Cowan (in 
whom I have the fullest confidence).  I learned soon after empowering Mr. 
Jones that Mr. Cowan was still presenting the claim as I had authorized him to 
do.  he has been at a great deal of trouble in procuring evidence as you will 
see on a reference to the papers.  I therefore am constrained to ask you to 
suspend any action on the power given by me to Mr. Jones for the present as I 
have no reason or wish to take it out of my said agent Mr Cowan's hands until 
he may decline acting.  I have so informed Mr. Jones by letter provided it may 
reach him.
	In conclusion allow me to ask the favour of you at your earliest 
convenience to give the case a thorough reconsideration as Mr. Cowan has 
requested.
	Hoping for a favorable result
			I am your Obedient Servant
			Margaret Anderson
