A dull wet morning + the wind round to S.W + a big fall of barometer. It faired however + the wind went back to N.W. + the rest of the day was fine. Walked to Mavisbank, St Mary’s Mill, Cannon Street, Forest Road + Backrow. Had an enquiry from Arnolds1 about Rob Wallace.2 There was a party at Wellwood for Barbara’s coming of age3 which passed off very successfully. I left about 11.30.
1 The way Dr Muir normally writes on these occasions suggests a medical contact but nothing jumps off the page of the UK & Ireland Medical Registers.
2 Rob Wallace is so far unidentified.
3 Andrina Henderson ‘Barbara’ Roberts (1902-1996), born 11 August 1902 at Te Whare, Selkirk, the daughter of John ‘Jack’ Roberts junior and Agnes Amelia ‘Nancy’ Roberts née Muir.
