Another delightful day sunny + warm but not oppressive. Was called out soon after getting to bed at 12.30 for Effie Robertson, Muthag Street1 who had some colicky pain. It was a lovely night with full moon. Today I did a town list of 18 walking including Ettrickhaugh Mill + Hospital. No County work. There was no possibility of getting to the Conference of Insurance Societies, Clerks, Committees +c in Edinburgh. Nancy + Helen2 walked via Corbie Linn to Traquair3 + motored back. Helen went to the P.H. [Picture House] with Mrs Mack.4 Long + interesting letter from Dora.5 Paid some accounts.
