1865 LETTER TO DR. PARKER 393 



and don't be wasting powder in knocking down odd 

 bastions with random shells. 



I write jestingly, but I really ain very much in 

 earnest. Come and have a talk on the matter as soon as 

 you can, for I should send in my report. You will find 

 me in Jermyn Street, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday 

 mornings, Thursday afternoon, but not Tuesday or 

 Wednesday afternoon. Send a line to say when you 

 will come. Ever yours very faithfully, 



T. H. HUXLEY.
