Cycled in town where I saw 8 cases + then to Bowhill where Capt Scott (a younger brother of the factor) + his family are living in the laundry. I vaccinated their baby. Came back by Kirkwynd + Briarbank. D. [Dr David Graham] motored in to Edinburgh. I have to see Bella Henderson every evening + give her a hypo of morphia. Helen [Muir] busy making preparations for her journey to Charley Norfolk [?]. Was at Elmpark seeing And[drew] Gibbons + Mrs Mackintosh with her usual open handedness gave me a bunch of grapes, a bottle of Port + a pot of some sort of relish. Saw May Tait again: a sad sad case!1
