David [Graham] came up early from Faldonside. He reported Miss Dees1 rather better but when I cycled down at 3 I did not notice much improvement. The roads were frightfully heavy + very bad at Lindean where they are laying the electric cable. It was a delightfully mild sunny day: duller in afternoon + raining at night. Dav. was at Thirlestane2. Helen went to a sewing meeting at Knowepark School3 at night. I called at Wellwood4. Got Day Book filled up for Nov.
