Fine day but cold North wind.  David choring round. Piling wood &c.  Dr. called today and recommended to stay in house for another day.  Hamish telephoned this morning to ask After me and said he had had a fine night and felt first rate.  I had letter from Cora who says her father’s foot is improving but Elizabeth had measles.  James a cold.  David and his mother lame backs.
