Much nicer day. Almost no rain [?] + sunny in forenoon. W. [wind]. Left at 9.15 + motored to Cramalt to see Jas. Hogg1. Called for Mrs Simpson2, Backrow + Rae [?]3, Heatherlie + looked in on Dav. who is keeping better. Took the Straker Squire4 + made a good run. Megget + Yarrow hills white on tops.
