I didn’t have a single town case today. Was at Viewfield for over 2 hours for two cases of appendicitis being Miss Anna Scott + a girl Scott from Forest Road. Then I motored to Faldonside to see the governess: up to Sundhope + out to Haining Henhouse for Phemy. Christina Patrick came. I sent the car to Gala but needn’t have done so as a connection is now running. There was heavy drizzle in the afternoon.
2 The two Scott girls are unidentified
1 Mrs Hall may have been the governess for the Dees family, Faldonside – see diary entry for 18 July 1921
