Description

A letter from Perry Worden to Thomas W. Temple II, 19 May 1931. The missive mentions Temple's appearance in a Los Angeles Times article about his establishing the founding date of Los Angeles and Worden having seen it while he and his wife, Effie, visited Temple's cousin, Charles, in Ventura. Worden also discussed inaccuracies in the article and a conversation with history Lindley Bynum about his claim to have first found the document Temple later located. With folds and light soiling, the condition is good.
