iS8i LETTER TO DONNELLY 



39 



This would be a grand place if it were drier, but the rain it 

 raineth every day yesterday being the only really fine day since 

 our arrival. 



However, we all thrive, so I suppose w r e are adapting our- 

 selves to the medium, and shall be scaly and finny before long. 



Haven't you done with Babylon yet? It is high time you 

 were out of it. Ever yours very faithfully, 



T. H. HUXLEY.
