13 October 1920 diary of Dr John Stewart Muir (1845-1938) of Selkirk

Dense fog again through which the sun never penetrated till after midday. Otherwise it was a calm, pleasant day with S.W. air. I met Dav. [Graham] at Mitchell’s, Wellwood + adjusted the splints1. Cycled to [Faldonside deleted] Oakwood. Mr Linton2 none the worse of getting his teeth out. Accounts being paid.

1 Alexander Mitchell had fallen off a horse on 2nd October whilst riding at Headshaw with two of Dr Muir’s grandsons; he was a chauffeur, “Inhabitant Occupier, not rated” at Wellwood, Ettrick Terrace, Selkirk, John Roberts junior, manufacturer, Proprietor [1920 Valuation Roll]

2 Not identified, though the Linton family was well established at Oakwood
