A bitterly cold NE wind with one or two transient snow showers. Walked round the town I was finished by 2. Wrote Jean, Blair + Caton (Liverpool) re Pilot1. Began to prepare for this quarter’s accounts by writing the dates + names on the billheads. Dav [Dr David Graham, co-partner] was at Yair in forenoon + at the Hydro and Faldonside in the afternoon + he had a confinement (Hislop, Forest Road2) in evening. I was very pleased to get a message to Philiphaugh Farm to see Mrs Brown’s daughter. Mrs B is a sister of the late Laurie [?] Scott.
