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.

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 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 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 Gen. G.C. Jones, Office of Director of Medical Service, 86 Strand, London, England. Jones requests that Osler cancel the dinner he had arranged in his honour, as things are not "going well" for him [as a result of the Canadian Army Medical Corps affair].

Letter to William Osler from H.A. Bruce, Department of Militia and Defense, Canada, Cleveland House, St. James Square, London, England. Bruce explains that he was commissioned by the Honourable Minister of Militia of Canada to make an inspection of all hospitals and institutions to which the Canadian Government is contributing. He hopes to carry out an impartial enquiry into the organization and administration of the Canadian Army Medical Corps. Bruce did not take Osler's letter as an improper threat, but would have did he not respect and admire Osler as he does.

Letter to William Osler from John George Adami, Office of Director of Medical Service, 86 Strand, London, England. Adami reproaches Osler for sending Bruce a confrontational letter regarding the Canadian Army Medical Corps affair. Osler's letter has reached the Minister of Militia, who is now raging mad. Adami worries that this crisis may lead to his own resignation. However, he believes that Bruce's Commission was a "wretched piece of work" and a discredit to the Canadian Expeditionary Force.

Letter to William Osler from Margaret Macdonald, 86, Strand, London, England. Macdonald informs Osler that Edith Campbell had not been asked to resign. However, she regrets that a change of staff was necessary as a result of the Canadian Army Medical Corps affair and that Campbell was removed.
