Rained almost incessantly but very quietly: there was no wind to speak of. Saw 3 cases + went to forenoon service. Dav Boyack1 went to Church with me in the morning + with Dora at night. The town was very quiet. Said goodbye to Mr Taylor2, Viewfield, who leaves for Jamaica tomorrow. Wrote Jean + Helen [Muir].
1 Miss Boyack was a friend of Dora’s who stayed with the Muirs from 3rd to 31st August 1920; perhaps they knew one another from wartime nursing (she went on a number of Dr Muir’s calls and assisted on at least one occasion) but she is otherwise unidentified
2 Not identified at either Viewfield or Viewfield Place
