Had letter from P B Hill of Commercial Hotel, Glenluce saying he can take me in July1.
Mist this morning through which the sun never penetrated except slightly after 6 p.m. It was therefore much cooler than yesterday but still very pleasant. Motored to Sunderland Hall where I met Logan Turner at 10.202 + he operated on Wattie’s [?] nose removing last of turbinates. I went on to Fairnilee. Saw some town cases. Cycled to Sunderland Hall in evening. David [Graham] came up + had a talk about Viewfield as a nursing Home [sic]. Helen [Muir] was spring cleaning her room which she had to do without Bella’s assistance as Bella [Paulin, housekeeper] had a bilious attack. David was at Sundhope at night.
