Monday Feb. 14th.

Colder to-day. Cold wind from North-West. Wrote a letter for Charles. After dinner went to see Mrs. McLean (phlebitis in her leg now and will have to stay in bed some weeks) and to see Mr. & Mrs. Leslie. Then went to the office and did the entries. After tea attended my first meeting as a Member of the Public Library Board. Mrs. Ferguson and I walked down as far as Davison's and back after the Meeting.

Called on Mrs. Hogg and the Misses Smellie. Wrote to Dorothy and Delphine Manwaring congratulating her on birth of "Edward Stanley" on February 10th. Finished Kipling's "Letters of Travel (1892-1913)."
