Letter from Lawrence F. Flick to William Porter [Transcript]
- Title:
- Letter from Lawrence F. Flick to William Porter [Transcript]
- Creator:
- Flick, Lawrence F.
- Contributor:
- Cushing, Harvey (Transcriber)
- Recipient:
- Porter, William
- Date:
- 12 November 1903
- Description:
- 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.. [Description courtesy of McGill University.]. About this transcript: Soon after Osler's death in 1919, Lady Osler asked their good friend Dr. Harvey Cushing to write a biography. For this project, Cushing gathered a wide variety of material, including a substantial amount of Osler correspondence and other memorabilia borrowed from Osler's family, friends, and colleagues. He employed three secretaries to transcribe these documents, and later donated the transcripts (along with his other working materials) to the Osler Library. Because many of the original documents were returned to the owners, the Cushing transcripts constitute the largest and most accessible collection of Osler's correspondence.. Harvey Cushing's "Life of Sir William Osler" was published by Oxford University Press in 1925, and was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1926.
