Ground white this morning + it snowed more or less all day. Did not rise till 7 yesterday + this morning. Drove in town + to Philiphaugh + Broadmeadows. Had lunch at latter + came to Bowhill where I heard from home that there was a wire to see Mrs Dart, Hangingshaw1 so I had to go back there. Jean + Dora2 went to the missed meeting of Joint Hospital Orchestral Concert Committee at which it was resolved to increase Miss Fraser’s salary £10 to prevent her going to Durham.3
1 Christina Dart née Rosie (1857-1928) was the housekeeper at Hangingshaw, Yarrow. Born Canisbay, Caithness, she does not seem to have stayed with the Meek family for long (nor did Mrs Meek either it seems) and between the wars died in Gloucestershire.
2 Two of Dr Muir’s daughters Jane Henderson Logan ‘Jean’ Muir and Andrina Dorothy ‘Dora’ Muir.
3 Miss Fraser is so far unidentified.
