Transcription	Nov. 30, 1919. Before discussing this memorandum I shall review the assur- ances which have been given the Directors of Brownson House Settlement Association by the Director of Catholic Charities [sic] Brownson House Settlement Association will continues to funct- ion in all the affairs of Brownson House in the future as in the past, subject to the general direction and supervision of the Bureau of Catholic Charities. It is understood that there shall be mutual consultation, mutual co operation and that there shall be co ordination of the work with the general plan for the common good. With this understanding it has been agreed that Brownson House Settlement Association will administer the affairs of Brownson House, will be responsible to the Bureau for the management of House affairs, and the direction of paid and volunteer workers employed at Brownson House and will define House policies. This includes all matters pertaining to the engagement and dismissal of paid workers employed at Brownson House. In short, in all House affairs, and in its district, Brownson House Settlement Association will function as heretofore after due consultation with the Director of Catholic Charities or his duly appointed representative, and the parish authorities.
