I was lucky having such a good day yesterday as it was raining this morning. There were some slight showers in the forenoon but it was dry though dull after. Helen1 + Peter2 left this morning. Helen is going to Buttermere with Nancy3. I felt a little stiff today but otherwise well. Had a number of things to attend to that turned up yesterday. Attended poor little Dora Stewart, Ettrick Terrace, who had an illigit. d [daughter] at 8 p.m.4 Chlor. +c.
