There hasn’t been a great deal doing Dav.1 says. He had 2 operations this morning viz. T. & A.2 + cervical glands both kids of a man Menzies3 at Bengerburn. It was a lovely morning but raining after 2 + I had to motor to Yair to see Ormiston boy4 with a suppurating knee. Saw a few town cases walking. Came home from Yair by Ettrick Mills + Hospital where another case of D. + one of S.5 have been admitted. Mrs Mack6 as usual has been most lavishly kind.
