1881 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 we 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.
