Description

Regis canevin (1853-1927) and Lawrence Flick (1856-1938) were two of the most prominent leaders of the Roman Catholic community of Pennsylvania during the late nineteenth and early twen­ tieth centuries. The former became bishop of Pittsburgh, while the latter, as a physician with a specialty in diseases of the lungs, helped to revolutionize the medical profession’s ideas about tuberculosis and its treatment. Friends since youth, the two men maintained their early association as adults and carried on a correspondence that endured for more than forty years.1
