Content
Collection contains the records of the Charles P. Moorman Home for Women, an organization formed in 1917 by the will of Charles Moorman to care for the indigent elderly of Jefferson County, Kentucky. Included in the collection are letters between members of the Moorman family, including some of Elizabeth Warren's correspondence. In a letter dated 14 April 1917, Elizabeth Warren writes that there is not much excitement about World War I in New Mexico. They are too far removed from the action (fl. 4). However, in a report dated 11 April 1917, an operative from the Standard Detective Agency investigating Mrs. Warren reports that they have to be careful in Silver City, New Mexico. All strangers are regarded with suspicion on account of the war with Germany (fl. 91).
