Not much wind but N.E. to E. + no sun. Some rain at 7 p.m. Walked to Yarrow Terrace, Dunsdale, Curror Street + Goslaw Green seeing 9 cases. Went to a meeting of Visiting Committee at Hospital about fees for outsiders [and ?] economy in food + gas + man for ground. Then to the annual meeting of the St Andrew Ambulance Association in Town Hall at which were present Chas. Roberts1, Menzies2, Johnston3, Sam Steel4, Chalmers5 + self. We resolved to get some alterations made on the ambulance.
