Ground white but no more snow during the day + it all disappeared. There is still plenty on the hills however. The storm has been much worse in the north. Expected to have a whole day at books but had to go to Lilliesleaf to see William Bunney1 + then to Hopehouse for Mrs Moffat whom I found nearly moribund2. She is 93. Dav [Dr David Graham] was at Boleside and Fairnilea. He came up at night + we finished entering the quarter’s visits.
