Workman,  Brownson House,  711 Jackson street,  Los Angeles, California.    My dear Mrs. Workman:   I do not feel that you are a stranger when I write to you as the name you have borne for many years is in honor in your city.  Be assured that I am deeply appreciative of your more than kind let-ter received this morning.   From all that I heard from my good friend, Bishop Conaty, you are very modest in what you say about the work of the Brownson House.  You will permit me, please God, some time in the future to see what you do with my own eyes.   It is a great joy to me to see so many charitable activi-ties under Catholic auspices in the City of Los Angeles.  Assuredly what we give to the poor we are sending to the Lord.   With the best of good wishes to yourself and your associates in the Brownson House, I remain,   Always devotedly yours in Christ,    [signed:] John J. Cantwell  [typewritten:] Vicar General."},{"label":"Source","value":"Department of Archives & Special Collections, William H.

She became the first woman to join the Municipal League, a civic watchdog group. A Roman Catholic who built cooperative relationships with church leaders, she founded the diocesan chapter of the National Council of Catholic Women in 1924. She led the Los Angeles Civil Service Commission from 1927 to 1928 and helped establish local chapters of the League of Women Voters and the National Conference of Christians and Jews. Throughout her life Workman was active in numerous social and religious efforts in her native city. John Joseph Cantwell was appointed Bishop of Monterey and Los Angeles in September 1917, and served in that office until the diocese was split in 1922 into the Diocese of Monterey-Fresno and the Diocese of Los Angeles-San Diego, with Bishop Cantwell remaining in Los Angeles-San Diego.  The Diocese was split again in 1936 to create the Diocese of San Diego and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, with Bishop Cantwell becoming the first Archbishop of Los Angeles, serving until his death in 1947.  His tenure is noted for his outreach to non-English speaking parishioners, creating 50 Hispanic parishes and missions."},{"label":"Description","value":"A letter from Bishop John J.
