Letter to H.M. Bracken from Lawrence F. Flick, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Flick is sorry that Bracken could not attend the meeting of the Tuberculosis Committee. The members of the Committee decided to have nothing to do with the Congresses of Daniel Lewis and Clark Bell, and instead, organized themselves into a United States Society for the Study of Tuberculosis. Flick writes that Maragliano's paper is a valuable contribution to the literature on Tuberculosis.

Letter to Edward Livingston Trudeau from Lawrence F. Flick, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Flick is very sorry to hear of Mrs. Trudeau's illness. Trudeau was very missed at the meeting of the Tuberculosis Committee. Flick reports on the success of the meeting, during which a United States Society for the Study of Tuberculosis was organized.

Letter to Sigmund Adolphus Knopf from Lawrence F. Flick, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Arrangements for the upcoming meeting of the Tuberculosis Committee in Philadelphia.

Letter to William Henry Welch from Lawrence F. Flick, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Flick believes that for the good of the crusade against Tuberculosis, the Tuberculosis Committee should absolutely ignore both Daniel Lewis and Clark Bell. However, if the majority of the Committee agrees to support Lewis, Flick will withdraw and remain in retirement.

Letter to Henry Barton Jacobs from Lawrence F. Flick, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Flick asks if it was Jacobs and Osler's intention to invite the Phipps Institute to send delegates to the meeting of the Tuberculosis Committee. If so, Flick would like to send Drs. McCarthy, Walsh, Stanton, Landis and Hatfield. Flick has requested that the staff of the Phipps Institute disregard his personal opinion of the Daniel Lewis and Clark Bell Congresses on Tuberculosis and to act on their own in the matter.

Letter to William Osler from Lawrence F. Flick, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Flick had taken Osler's advice and will have the abstract and English version of Maragliano's lecture distributed. Flick adamantly refuses to associate himself in any way with Daniel Lewis and his Congress on Tuberculosis. If the majority of the men at the upcoming meeting of the Tuberculosis Committee agree to join with Lewis, Flick will do nothing to embarrass them, but will still refrain from participating. He would like to organize instead a United States Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis, with Trudeau as president and Jacobs as secretary, which could make arrangements to bring the International Congress on Tuberculosis to the U.S.

Letter to William Osler from Lawrence F. Flick, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Flick has just received a cable from Maragliano saying that he is ill and unable to attend the conference in Philadelphia. Flick feels that this is a bit of an embarrassment after all the arrangements have been made and as all those invited were anxious to meet with Maragliano and hear his lecture. Flick would like to change the luncheon he had planned in Maragliano's honour into a dinner.

Letter to William Osler from Lawrence F. Flick, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Flick agrees with Osler that they ought not to organize a third Congress on Tuberculosis to counteract the work of Daniel Lewis and Clark Bell. However, he would like to form a national association, which could prepare the way for an International Congress on Tuberculosis in the U.S. in 1906 or 1907. From what he has heard, he maintains that Lewis's Congress will be a discredit to the country and to the medical profession.

Letter to Theobald Smith from Lawrence F. Flick, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Invitation to the meeting of the Tuberculosis Committee and Professor Maragliano's lecture in Philadelphia. Includes a special invitation to a lunch in honour of Maragliano.

Letter to William Osler from Lawrence F. Flick, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Arrangements for the meeting of the Tuberculosis Committee and Professor Maragliano's lecture in Philadelphia. Flick agrees with Osler that Maragliano's work is questionable. He does not agree, however, that the Committee should attach itself to Daniel Lewis's Congress on Tuberculosis. Still, Flick has invited Lewis to Philadelphia to hear what he has to say about his work with Tuberculosis.
