Much nicer day. Wind still N.E. but very gentle + only one or two very slight showers. Plenty sunshine. Saw one or two town cases + walked to Prieston via Longmoss + Nether Whitlaw returning by the road.1 A little snow on Cheviot. Helen [Muir] had tea at Elmpark where Rita is staying. Heard from Rennie that he did get the Panatellas2 I sent him on Sept. 22nd.
