A mild day with strongish west wind which dried the roads a bit. Walked over to see Sarah Rodger, Bridge Street1 + went to morning service. Mr Rogerson, Galashiels, was preaching2 + I couldn’t make out a word of his sermon. He was here on the quinquennial presbyterial visitation. After that I walked to Hospital. Jack3, Nancy4 + Mrs Mack5 came to supper.
1 Sarah Rodger is so far unidentified.
2 The Reverend John Rogerson (1871-1936), free church minister.
