Strongish N.E. wind: fine morning + fair till after 6 when there was some rain. I had a fine cycle run to Crook Cottage1, left at 9.30. Called at Kirkhope manse about Jeanie Amos2 whom I called for at Kirkhope Cottages + persuaded her to go to the Poorhouse + she was taken there in the ambulance. Got back at 2.45, the wind was pretty stiff against me coming down + I was rather tired + very ready for my tea. Dora + Boyack3 went to Shawpark to tea. Connie Patrick4 left this morning. David [Graham] looked in at night.

3 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
4 Constance Mary ‘Connie’ Patrick (1882-1968), born Hamilton, Lanarks, the daughter of David Patrick, writer, and Christina Robertson Patrick née Rodger, married 1874, Selkirk; she was therefore the granddaughter of Peter Rodger (1804-1888), sometime Town Clerk of Selkirk, the niece of Dr Muir’s wife Andrina Rodger and first cousin to Dr Muir’s children
