Was twice at Faldonside. Miss Dees1 as well as could be expected but critical. There was almost no haemorrhage + her temp. was normal. Washed out her ears. She has just got engaged to a Mr Lemon who, with his father + mother + Mrs Dees were all at the Grey Mares Tail + had the accident coming home by Ettrick2. Found Dees quite a nice woman. Asked Scott Skirving3 to come out again tomorrow. Dora [Muir] has a very sore hand with a wasp sting.
