15 February 1923 diary of Dr John Stewart Muir (1845-1938) of Selkirk

It is still absolutely calm + there is very little difference in the appearance of the trees +c but the streets are sleety. There was more of thaw + by evening the trees were quite bare of snow. I kept my bed till about 3 when I had to attend Mrs Thomas Riddell (Connie Wallis), Tait’s Hill1 – primip – whom I had not expected till April. She was better at 4.30.
