17 March 1922 diary of Dr John Stewart Muir (1845-1938) of Selkirk

A little rain in the morning but quite fair after 9. Had a very small list which I did walking. Saw about getting the Victoria Hall for the presentation of medals1 + hope to get it gratis. Spent the afternoon at accounts + sent the book down to David2 who says he can type them in a very short time.

1 There was to be an event at the Victoria Hall on the evening of 30th March at which medals were to be awarded to members of the 2nd Selkirkshire Voluntary Aid Detachment (V.A.D.) for their war service [source: ‘Selkirkshire V.A.D.s Presentation of Medals’, The Southern Reporter, 6 April 1922]

2 David Charteris ‘Dav.’ Graham (1889-1963), M.B., medical practitioner and Dr Muir’s business partner
