Monday 5. Still cold but dry: rather dull. Saw one or two walking + motored to Clifton Road – Hospital, Heather Mill, Buccleuch Road, Henhouse + Castle Street. Drew £200 pounds [sic] from the Firm which makes £250 from for 21/-22 + my balance at bank £357.14.8. Made out some accounts in afternoon.

After dinner I was called out to see Ross Glenlora’s girl6 . Nancy7 came to dinner + Frank went down to sleep at Wellwood8 .

I think it is Clifton Road, next to the Pringle Park.

Thank you. Yes it probably is and obviously I considered that. Problem is that Dr Muir’s writing has deteriorated quite sharply in the last few months. I’m considering shifting the focus to diaries to those written 120 years ago (in other words shifting to the decade before the nine years or so that we have already done. There would be more medical interest I think. Anyway thanks as always for your interest. Paul
