Pouring this morning very heavily but faired in afternoon. Saw some town cases, hospital + Gib. + Lum.1 Only three cases in Hospital 1 D. + 2 S2. Spent a lot of time making out a list of the Ordnance Maps (Lowlands). Cycled to Whitmuirhall with Communion Cards for 2 of the servants = Miss [illegible] + Jane Dodds3. Her father has gone to the Priory4. Called for Mrs Dunlop5 + got a first rate photo of Charles6 from her.
1 Gibson & Lumgair Ltd., woollen textile manufacturer, at St Mary’s Mill, Selkirk.
2 Diphtheria and Scarlet fever which had been prevalent locally for a long time by July 1922.
3 Neither of the two servants has (yet) been identified though it may possible to do so when the 1921 Census is published later this year.
4 The Editor suspects that this means he has gone to work at The Priory, Ettrick Road, Selkirk, home of the Lumgair family but this probably cannot be proven until the 1921 Census is published later this year.
