Another day of leaden skies + drizzle. It was fair at night. Gave chlor[oform] at the House to Miss Jenkins on whom D. [Dr David Graham] operated for chronic appendicitis. Before that I had seem Mrs Baptie (Molly Inglis)1, Rosemount2 who had pains. Saw her on + off all afternoon. Had tea there + brought a son at 3.30. Saw her again at night.

[Graham] was at Crook Cottage to see at tramp, who was reported sick but had disappeared before D. arrived.
