Margt1 gave me my breakfast early + I came up to Glasgow by the 7.50. Booked my bag at Queen Street. + took a tram to [illegible word] which only cost 1½d instead of 3/6 or more for a cab or taxi. Taxied [?] from St Enoch’s, attended meetings2 + had lunch + tea at University3 [?]. Intended taking the 4 something to Wemyss Bay but could not leave the meeting so wired to Mrs D4 that I would be down with the 6.10 but before I could get a taxi I was too late so took train to St Enoch’s + waited for the 7.10 + took [illegible] a return ticket finding when I went for the train that it ran only on Saturdays! So I went to the Caledonian Hotel. ‘Phoned Mrs Dubs: got a room + a good dinner with half a bottle of port + made the best of it.
