1 As Dr Muir’s list of calls (visits) has got longer he has begun to report them in this form and it is probable that the earlier number is the total number of patients and, where the number of calls is higher than that, it indicates multiple visits to one or more patients
2 Helen Frances ‘Mousey’ Muir (1880-1963), Dr Muir’s third daughter and sometime housekeeper
