Saw a few town cases walking + then motored to Hospital, Bridgelands + Sund. Hall Lodge returning by Forest Road. Felt rather seedy + shivery all day. Had to go down to Lauriston to see Jenny Smith1 after getting back from Forest Road. Worked all afternoon at the record + Summary cards2, my own + David’s3. Did not come down to consultation. Took hot bath + went early to bed. Felt a great deal the better of a whisky at dinner. Helen + Nancy4 went out to South Common to see the hunt. The meet was at Haining but they saw very little.
