16 July 1921 diary of Dr John Stewart Muir (1845-1938) of Selkirk

There was a heavy shower during last night + today was dull + sunless with an easterly wind. There was a nice rain again in the evening. I gave Chlor[oform] to Mrs Rennie1 daughter of Scott, Elmpark Lodge2 while D.3 curetted. Then I saw 3 cases + tackled the accounts which I finished late at night.

1 Joan Jean McEwan Scott (1888-), milliner, had married David Reid Rennie junior of Partick at Elm Park Cottage, Selkirk, on 14 January 1920; she was the daughter of William Scott and Agnes Findlay
