Sta.—Having seen the mime of Mr. Masse and myself intro-
duced into the public prints under circumstances that seem to re.
quire some explanation, 1 have merely to state that my interview
with Mr. Hayti,: was the result of the very peculiar situation in
which I was placed, and that I bad no option in the line of con-
duct that it became me to pursue; I shall decline saying more at
present: First, because I conceive that it would be an improper
discussion while an action of law is pmding between Miss Foote
and Mr. llayne ; and secondly, 1 should not feel myself bound to
cutter into any explanation only to gratify public curiosity. if it
should hereafter he made manifest to me that Miss Fotne or her
friends are dissatisfied with the steps I took, 1 shall be ready to
give the fullest and most :mph detail of every transaction in which
I had any share. 1 am. your most obedient,

shall not pay you; for the law acquits me. If judgment
is given against me. I will not pay, for that would be con-

if you lose, you must pay me, fur the law decrees it. If
you gain, you must pay rue, for that is the agreement be-
tween us.
