Heavy showers at intervals all day. Pretty calm: chilly. Saw half a doz. town cases including Paterson at the Home who is rather better1. Got all my recent expenditure at Glasgow2 + payment of accounts + books entered up. Wrote Mrs Dunlop3 to thank her for the photo + to ask her to give me if possible Dunlop’s autograph4. Looked down to Wellwood at night.
