15 April 1922 diary of Dr John Stewart Muir (1845-1938) of Selkirk

Raining heavily all day till 2 [then] fair till 7 when there was a heavy shower. There was no frost nor sleet. S.W. [wind] glass very low. I was never out of the house. I had a list of 9 town cases none of them urgent so I stayed in my room + put up the accounts finally for delivery + a few which D.1 brought up for postage. Tidied the papers on the mantel shelf. Helen2 went with Nancy3 to the meet at Bowhill.
