It was fresh all day but too calm + foggy for a thorough change. Still the streets were better for walking. Saw Erskine H.1 this morning. He is better2 + Graham3 is evidently going to attend his. I walked to Elmpark4, Dunsdale, Bleachfield Road +c. + then Lauriston + Heathpark.5 After lunch I got a message to Irvine6, Raeburn Place + walked there also. Had a C.C. comttee meeting in the surgery.

3 David Charteris ‘Dav.’ Graham (1889-1963), M.B., medical practitioner and Dr Muir’s business partner.
4 Elm Park, Selkirk, home of Dr Muir’s friend Agnes Mackintosh née Watson, formerly Harper (1859-1946).
