Very very little doing. Dav. [Dr David Graham, co-partner] attended Mrs Ed. Johnstone (a Douglas) at her confinement at Ashybank1. He came up early to investigate our bank account: yesterday I drew £350 + then discovered we were overdrawn to the extent of £244. We then found that nearly £60 which we had banked was not included [?] in the book. I went along about it + left it to be investigated. Saw Willie Lindsay who has had a malarial attack. Very warm today. Called for Mrs Jenkins at Philiphaugh Manse. Jack won a race at Hawick.
