David Murray still very ill1. Saw him three times, once with Dav [Dr David Graham, co-partner]. We decided to get Bramwell + found he was at St Boswell’s but couldn’t get his address2. Saw some town cases + Ettrickbank Mill accounts coming in. Dav was at Bridgelands (James Hardie3), Sunderland Hall Lodge + Faldonside. Steady thaw + snow off the streets, a very little at West Gate [?] + in park.
