Dear Jonathan Gill

I am not sure this is related to what you are looking for.

In _The American Ezra Pound_, Flory write as follows,
" in 1903 Homer and Isabel began their very active involvement with
missionary work among the Italian immigrants of the Philadelphia slums.
In the summers, they lived at 502 South Front Street and worked at
the Italian Mission,"
