Got War Stock Divvies [dividends] = £40 10 6. Was able to cycle to Mackay, Ettrickhaugh Road, Beechwood + in town + later to Hospital + Pinegrove. Roads softer today but quite rideable. At Beechwood met Miss Colville’s1 lawyer Mr Perrie2 [sic] who knows both J G Smith + Eddy Miller3. My cough + expectoration very troublesome.
