No rain today: N.W. to N. wind. Colder: sunny: Saw a few town cases walking + worked away at the mileage list for David1 who looked in in the afternoon to talk over a new arrangement for Viewfield. We decided to call a number of friends to discuss the question of reviving a fund for patients unable to pay, we giving our services gratis as our contribution. Dora2 went up to Innerleithen in the car + brought Guy3 down in time for tea. Gave Dav. a receipt for last year’s + this year’s payment for the practice. I think I should have worded it for a “share of the practice.”
