No improvement in the weather : thick mist all day. Wind E. Message to Fauldshope for Mrs Jas. Wilson1[and] motored up. Went to meeting of Division with David2 who read a paper on types of appendicitis. Got back at 6 to get a’phone from Hiddleston3 that Jo. Mitchell of Mt Benger4 had been injured in a motor smash : that he had attended to him but that he would have to be seen tonight so I motored up there. He had been a good deal knocked about but there were no serious injuries. The driver of the car with which he collided was Major Keswick of Mabie.5
