Theorem 18.2 (Uniqueness of simply connected covers):

Suppose that $ p_1:({\tilde X}_1, {\tilde x}_1)\longrightarrow (X, x_0)$ and $ p_2:({\tilde X}_2, {\tilde x}_2)\longrightarrow (X, x_0)$ are covering projections such that both $ {\tilde X}_1$ and $ {\tilde X}_2$ are simply connected and locally path connected. Then there is a homeomorphism $ \psi:{\tilde X}_1\longrightarrow {\tilde X}_2$ such that

$\displaystyle p_2\circ \psi = p_1. \quad {INSERT DIAGRAM}
