Title	[Fr. W.E. Corr letter to Mary J. Workman, Dec 30, 1919]
Creator	Corr, W.E.
Date Created	1919
Description	A letter from Fr. W.E. Corr to Mary Workman typed on the letterhead of the Bureau of Catholic Charities, regarding a statement about the Brownson House printed in the Tidings.
Historical Background	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. 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. Father W. E. Corr was the director of the Bureau of Catholic Charities for the Diocese of Los Angeles.

Transcription	[letterhead] [left] Rev. Wm. E. Corr Director [center] Bureau of Catholic Charities Diocese of Monterey and Los Angeles 823-825-827 Higgins Building Los Angeles, Cal., [typed] December 30th, 1919. [right] Telephone Broadway 3773 Miss Mary J. Workman, Brownson House, 711 Jackson Street, Los Angeles, Calif. My dear Miss Workman: Your note of December 29th received. I suppose there might be room for misinterpretation of the item of last Saturday's Tidings and I shall try to clarify it in the next issue. Would it be possible to have your meeting of Directors in 804 Higgins Building on Friday? I wish to be present and might not be able to go to Brownson House. I would be pleased to have you give some time to the office each week. I am sure you would be of very great assistance in helping plan the Americanization work. Assuring you of our best wishes, I am Yours very sincerely, [singed] W.E. Corr
