Tom Thomson, Letter to Dr. James MacCallum, July 7, 1917

Mowat P. O., July 7, 1917

Dear Sir:

I am still around Frasers and have not done any sketching since the flies started. The weather has been wet and cold all spring and the flies and mosquitos much worse than I have seen them any year and the fly dope doesnt have any effect on them. This however is the second warm day we have had this year and another day or so like this will finish them. Will send my winter sketches down in a day or two and have every intention of making some more but it has been almost impossible lately. [...] Have done some guiding this spring and will have some other trips this month and next with probably sketching in between. [...]

Yours truly
Tom Thomson
