6 January 1904 diary of Dr John Stewart Muir (1845-1938) of Selkirk

Another dull day + wind from S.W. rather colder but mist not dense. No appearance of frost. Saw some town cases in forenoon + consulted Pollok1 about Hendry’s letter2 + also about my duties in connection with [illegible text] + places. Then drove down to Bridgelands to see Geo. Rodger.3 After lunch drove to Hartwoodmyres. Nancy dined with us, Jack being in London.4

1 John Pollok (1858-1938), Town Clerk and Procurator Fiscal, living at Broomhill, Selkirk, at this time.

2 Hendry had asked Dr Muir to reimburse him £8 for medical fees, see 5 January 1904 diary entry.

3 George Rodger (about 1843-1910) or perhaps his eldest son George Frederick Eck Rodger (1873-1956).

4 Dr Muir’s daughter Agnes Amelia ‘Nancy’ Roberts née Muir (1878-1948) wife of John ‘Jack’ Roberts junior (1876-1966), married in 1901 at Selkirk.
