Title	[Mary Young Moore letter to Mary J. Workman, 1919 December 29]
Creator	Moore, Mary Young
Date Created	1919 December 29
Description	A letter from Mary Young Moore to Mary J. Workman typed on the letterhead of the National Catholic War Council, dated Dec 29, 1919, introducing a Mrs. Charlotta Webber, who would like to help the Brownson House.
Historical Background	The Brownson House 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. Born into a politically prominent Los Angeles family, Mary Julia Workman founded the Brownson House Settlement Association in 1901 and led it for 19 years. She became the first woman to join the Municipal League, a civic watchdog group. Mary Young Moore was the Supervisor of Woman's Activities at the National Catholic War Council in Los Angeles.
