Sunshine + showers but still ungenial [sic]: perhaps a little less cold. Saw Fairleigh1 + Hogg2, Backrow before breakfast [and] attended Mrs Heatlie3, Ettrick Road who had a F.S. [?] at 10.30. Cycled to Elmrow, Curror Street + Hospital + then to Henhouse + Southport. Was not out again till 7.15 when I saw Fairleigh T.105. Jock, Louise, Stewart + Tim4 called, the 3 boys to say goodbye as they go back to school tomorrow, Tim to Moffat5 + the others to Merchiston. Helen6 had Dawn Boyd Milne7 + Mrs Smith8 to lunch + she, Dora9, Norah10 [?] + Mrs Mack11 went to the Picture House.
1 Fairleigh is unidentified, though it may be possible to identify her when the 1921 Census is published later this year
2 There were several households called Hogg in Backrow
3 Thomas Heard Heatlie born 4 May at 11 Ettrick Road, Selkirk, son of William Sandilands Heatlie, butcher, and Janet Mathieson Heatlie née Heard, married 17 April 1913 at Selkirk

5 The Editor believes this must be St Ninian’s School, Moffat (1879-) a preparatory school attended it seems by all of the Roberts boys

7 Dawn Gordon Belle Brack Boyd Wilson or Boyd-Wilson, later Milne (1894-1980), who was to change her name to Dawn Gordon Bell Brack Boyd Wilson Milne, 31 October 1924 [London Gazette, 8 December 1924] at which time she was of the Belvedere Hotel, Grenville Place, London; in ‘Notices Under The Trustee Act, 1925’ Dawn is noted as being of Flat 7, 1a Queen’s Gate, London SW7, a spinster and her date of death as 2nd August 1980
8 It is likely that this refers to Mrs Alice Smith née Paterson (1863-1943), of The Firs, Selkirk, the wife of Patrick Smith (1858-1930), advocate and sheriff-substitute
9 Andrina Dorothy ‘Dora’ Muir (1882-1978), nurse and Dr Muir’s youngest daughter
