A much better day. Though the pavements were damp there was no rain all day + pretty constant sunshine but the wind sharp. After seeing a few cases I was at Viewfield from 11 till 2 giving Chloroform, first to an old Mrs Robertson from Melrose1 with an appendix + then to Thomas Tait2 (one of the 15 Taits) with for excision of varicose veins. After lunch walked to Curror Street, Dunsdale + up by Broomhill + along the March between there + Shawmount. It was lovely looking down on Ettrick + Tweed. Had meeting of cyclists club in loft [?] where officials + committee were appointed for the year + a comttee appointed to arrange for a social of some sort.
1 Mrs Robertson is unidentified.
2 Thomas Tait is so far unidentified.
