Very sharp S.E. wind: quite cold enough for snow + the sky looked like it too. It kept quite dry however. I cycled to Faldonside + Hospital (D. sent in a case of Scarlet yesterday, thinking it was Diphtheria). Miss Dees1 looking better but wandering terribly. Her memory seems gone. Walked up to Heathpark for Miss Hall2. Was in house all afternoon + got books [text deleted] made up for the end of the month. Didn’t get to evening service as a message came for Jeannie Wright3, Clifton Road. Supped at Wellwood4, a little rain after dark + milder. Wind high.
