The morning broke bright + sunny but the day was dull + cold. Wind N.E. to N. A very slight drizzle once. I walked to Hospital + Halliday’s Park + went to morning service. Last Sunday I had taken all the books home as the Church was to be cleaned + I forgot them today so had to borrow from Robert Johnstone1. David2 came up in the evening + we had a talk over various matters + amongst others he suggested that he should have some extra remuneration for the operations to which I agreed. Mrs Mack3, Agnes4, Barbara5 + Alistair Napier6, who is staying at Elmpark, came to supper.
