N.W. gale continued with some sunshine + a clear atmosphere. In fact it was a fine day + not too warm. Was called up at 7 for Mrs Todd, Bridgelands (M. C.).1 Cycled round town + then to Riddell Lodge, Lilliesleaf, Midlem, Eastfield + back by Bridgelands. At 9 was called down to see a child of Swan, Lindean Station who had fallen on the rails.2
1 Mrs Todd is as yet unidentified.
2 The child Swan may well be either Jane Helen Swan (1919-) or Thomas Scott Swan (1917-), both born Edinburgh, the children of Hugh Waddell Swan, railway passenger guard, and Isabella Swan née Scott, married 1910 at Saltoun, East Lothian. They had other children but the youngest two seem the most likely to have fallen onto the line.
