Letter to Mazyck P.(?) Ravenel from Lawrence F. Flick, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Flick feels that it may be best for all involved to drop the subject of creating a new Congress on Tuberculosis until the old one has disbanded. He will have nothing to do with the old Congress or the men involved with it.

Letter to William Osler from Lawrence F. Flick, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Arrangements for Osler's upcoming lecture in Philadelphia. Flick writes briefly of his plans to invite the International Congress on Tuberculosis to the U.S.

Letter to William Porter from Lawrence F. Flick, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Flick is not willing to associate himself with the rival Congresses on Tuberculosis spearheaded by Clark Bell and Daniel Lewis. He writes that the Congresses that have been held in the past have been a discredit to the country and to the medical profession. He feels that those that work with Tuberculosis have been largely ignored in this matter. He will wait until the rival factions withdraw before he gets involved in planning a Congress himself.

Letter to Clark Bell from Lawrence F. Flick, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Flick regrets that he cannot permit his name to be used in any way in connection with Bell's Congress on Tuberculosis in St. Louis. He feels that the Congresses on Tuberculosis held in the U.S. in the past have been a discredit to the country and have given the U.S. a bad standing in Europe.

Letter to Edward Livingston Trudeau from Lawrence F. Flick, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Flick writes of the efforts of the Phipps Institute to bring the International Congress on Tuberculosis to the U.S. Daniel Lewis, of the American Congress of Tuberculosis, has asked Flick to join forces with him to oppose Clark Bell's efforts. Flick refuses to support either Clark or Lewis, as he feels that both men have ignored those who work with Tuberculosis.

Letter to Edward Livingston Trudeau from Lawrence F. Flick, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Flick writes that if there is to be an American Congress of Tuberculosis, it should be directed by one who has worked in the field. He would like to plan a Congress in the future with Trudeau's help, but will wait until those presently battling for honours [Clark Bell and Daniel Lewis] are satisfied that their methods have failed.

Letter to William Porter from Lawrence F. Flick, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Flick believes that going into the homes of the poor and teaching them how to avoid spreading Tuberculosis is the most effective means of controlling the disease. He writes of the activities of the Free Hospital for Poor Consumptives in Pennsylvania. He states that the Phipps Institute will be made the pivotal point for Tuberculosis work, not only in the U.S, but throughout the world. The Institute was planning to bring the International Congress on Tuberculosis to the U.S. in 1905, but decided against it because of the rivalry between the Clark Bell faction and the Daniel Lewis faction.

Letter to Sigmund Adolphus Knopf from Lawrence F. Flick, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Flick is not willing under any circumstances to be associated with either Clark Bell's or Daniel Lewis's Congresses on Tuberculosis. He is adamant that an American Congress of Tuberculosis should be directed by men who have done Tuberculosis work, such as Dr. Trudeau. He also feels that due to Mr. Phipps's generosity in furthering the Tuberculosis cause, the Congress should be held in Philadelphia.

Letter to H.M. Bracken from Lawrence F. Flick, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Flick explains that if Daniel Lewis plans to hold his own Congress on Tuberculosis in 1905, the Phipps Institute will gladly hold off its plans to bring the International Congress on Tuberculosis to the U.S. until 1906. However, Flick warned Lewis that his project was not likely to be successful and that neither he nor the Phipps Institute would have anything to do with it.

Letter to H.M. Bracken from Lawrence F. Flick, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Flick is glad to know that he and Bracken are in agreement over the subject of the Tuberculosis Congress. He feels strongly that the Tuberculosis workers should be free to chose their own President in the event of a Congress, and not have to settle for someone outside their field [possibly alluding to Clark Bell]. In his opinion, Dr. Trudeau is the natural choice for President.
