Was called up about mid night last. (Robt Blair coming for me) and walked to Emma Kings to prescribe for Mr Evans, his nurses thought him dying, & indeed he was "very low", but revived some what, after I arrived, but I fear is not far from his end of life. Rode down again before dinner & again towards evening. Susan Davis was here for advice & medicine for "Edwin". Dora was all day at the Insurance office again helping May Thomas. Edwd: commenced school again after the holidays.
