7 August 1921 diary of Dr John Stewart Muir (1845-1938) of Selkirk

Another showery day with some sunny blinks. Rather cooler. Walked to Yarrow Terrace, Ettrickhaugh Road, Dunsdale Cottages, Ashybank Terrace, Hospital + Bridge Street + went to morning service. Was not out again and did some more work at letter cards. Mrs Scott Anderson1 called + invited me to dinner next Wed. Boylan2 came to supper. Dora3 kept her bed to breakfast. Her ankle was rather better.
