5 February 1904 diary of Dr John Stewart Muir (1845-1938) of Selkirk

Did not rise till 7 this morning. Weather much the same, felt also not quite so cold + there was less fall + mostly rain. Drove to Firs + Abbotsford Road. Worked on accounts in afternoon. Cullen1 called in his motor (a Humber Voiturette2).
