Wet morning up till 1. A shade milder but still cold + unseasonable. Dora1 took Enid Baxter2 back to Edinburgh. I have enjoyed little Enid’s visit very much. She is an affectionate wee thing with most lovely eyes. I had to take the car to Castle Street, Chapel Place, Hosp [possibly deleted], St Mary’s + Forest Mill, Cannon Street, Philiphaugh Sawmill, Newarkburn + Haining. Had to go down in afternoon to St Mary’s Mill Lodge to certify a man Pringle3 for Melrose4. Dav.5 called + finally adjusted our deed of Copartnery + the Viewfield lease. + we talked regarding his claim for an increased share of the profits of the practice6.
