Wind at first S.W. but went round to N.W. and blew a gale with heavy blasts of rain at intervals. Some sun between. Went down to Hospital before breakfast to see John Scott.1 His father went with him. Saw him in forenoon + again at night. He was delirious all day but less violent. Drove there, Buccleuch Road + Rockville. Heard from Meta [?] that Harry Shaw2 is only relieved by morphia.

There is a problem uploading the image. It is hope to resolve this as soon as possible.
