Title	[Rev. Corr letter to Miss Labory, 1919 September 11]
Creator	Corr, William E.
Date Created	1919 September 11
Description	A letter from Fr. Corr typed on the letterhead of the Bureau of Catholic Charities to Miss Labory of the Brownson House, dated Sept. 11, 1919, regarding a misunderstanding about the California Home Finding Society Catholic children for placement.
Historical Background	Father William E. Corr was the director of the Bureau of Catholic Charities for the Diocese of Los Angeles. Mattie Labory worked for the Brownson House, which assisted underprivileged and immigrant families in the city, providing them with educational, vocational and social programs such as student clubs, Sunday school, dances, and sporting events. Brownson House was originally located in a rented cottage on Aliso St., but moved to a new facility on Jackson St. in late 1904 or early 1905.

Transcription	[sequence 1] [letterhead] [top right]Rev. WM. E. CORR DIRECTOR [top left]TELEPHONE BROADWAY 3773 [center]BUREAU OF CATHOLIC CHARITIES Diocese of Monterey and Los Angeles 823-825-827 HIGGINS BUILDING LOS ANGELES, CAL.,__________[in typewriter front] Sept 11th 1919 [sequence 2] [main text] Miss Labory, Brownson House, 711 Jackson St., Los Angeles, Calif. My dear Miss Labory: In reference to your letter of this morning, I wish to say that I could not understand why you should ask this office whether you would hand over to the California Home Finding Society Catholic children for placement. All Catholic children must be referred to this office at all times for action. If we wish to refer them to other institutions, the decision is made here. I am sorry for the misunderstanding. Yours sincerely, [signed] W.E. Corr Director of Catholic Charities, Diocese of Monterey and Los Angeles.
