Winter is here + from Broomhill I could see some of the Ettrick hills white. There was a strong N.W. wind + [illegible] showers of heavy rain but no snow fell here. Saw some cases + went to morning service + then motored to Bridgelands (Miss Scott1) + Broomhill (Mrs Graham2) + Curror Street. Dressed Margaret Dawson’s finger3 + was not out again. Wrote Jean4 + Dav. Inglis.5
1 Miss Scott is so far unidentified.
2 Mrs Graham is unidentified, though both Andrew and William Graham appear on Valuation Rolls for Broomhill in the early 1920s.
3 Margaret Dawson, Chapel Street cannot be identified.
4 Jane Henderson Logan ‘Jean’ Pike née Muir (1877-1941), Dr Muir’s eldest daughter, widowed but still living in Newington, Edinburgh.
5 Perhaps David Nicholson Ingles (1888-1933), A.R.H.A., portrait artist, who did Dr Muir’s portrait in 1913.
