DrGR SPlRrT: am happy 10 inform you
that am very well, and TIE little scar got
nnder the eye Is almost entirely gene. In q
week or more no one would suppose for . mo-
ment that had ever been bit at all. | need
not say anything to you about the manner in
which the fight was brought to conclusion
only this, have no fault with Sayers for
anything that was done. Itwas natural that
be should avail himself of every opportunity
that offered TO save his belt and his hard
earned reputation; but there are Others whom
hold responsible for depTiying me Of what l
earned, and all that am sorry for Is, that
there IS no earthly way in which can get
redress. am entirely In the hands Of the
referee, and he says Sayers had right to be
relieved when got him "in ehanceryp 50 he
gave him two months TO get bis wind and
come to time. Rather long spell This, !
think, should be the newest Of what is called
the new rules Of the ring. ! am glad to say,
however, that through the determination Of
Mr.. w, I have got day set for new battle
but I cannot mention It at present, as It
would come back here in time to interrupt the
meeting. In the meantime, think | shall
20 over 70 Ireland TO train, or to some place
at any rate where shall not be harrsSsed as
was before. They gave mo pretty rough
time Of it with their warrants and notices TO
10 quit, and want no more Of that kind OF
exercise. l must say, however, that have
but little fifth in being able 10 get the belt,
though have the most perfect confidence in
being able to win it in less than half an hour.
The persons who were willing to bet 100 to
40 against me before will not let me have II
under any circumstances, and it must not be
forgotten that Mr. Bowling, who showed me
so much favor at the last fight is looked up
TO by the boxers here as the natural protector
of the trophy of Old England. There are a
hundred difficulties in the way, and the fight
ing part is, so far rs ] am concerned, the least
one Of ALL They now say that the Govern
ment will surely interfere to prevent us if we
attempt to meet again, and in addition to this
l they threaten to prosecute US both for what
/ we have already done. Rather tight on the
American people that as the boys say al
home; and, to tell you the truth, anna little
uneasy that they may keep their word. I'm
der this state of things, shouldn't much
wonder now 20 see Sayers arrested for the
| first time; and if that course is taken, and
| be is bound over in heavy sum, shall be
told that it is not his fault he cannot meet me
and the stakes win be drawn, and he will
keep the Belt, for his term isout some time In
June. To become Champion after that
should have to wait till new belt is sub
scribed for, and then would have to fight for
! it with plenty of the l00-to-4Q fellows around
to help me to win it, However, shall stick
to my point as long as can, and get new
meeting out of Sayers if possible. So, if
do not bring over the Belt, nobody shall say
that did not take every fair chance to get it
But must hold up here, for have now writ
ten the longest letter almost that ever wrote
! in my life.
Please give my regards TO all friends, and
| believe me.
| Truly yours, J. Y. HEENAN.
I-P.S.-We will have no speculation in the
next fight in the way of railroad trains OF
three-guinea tickets. There will be merely 6
party of twenty-five a side, seconds, prinei-
4 pals, spectators, and all told, and then hops
and think that the best man may win.
