difference to settle with Mr. Savers except such as
tried to settle the l6th and instead of being called

so far and not having got settlement should be will
ling to renqush my purpose for few good natured pats
on the back, and being told that | am fine fellow
received many anonymous letters asking me if am not
ashamed of myself for great fellow like me to come
whip little like Sayers. Under ordinary
circumstances should not think of sending challenge
to of Sayers' size; but England thinks him big
enough to defend the belt. want and cannot get it
except through him.
1.-THE enclosed is a letter which sent to Bells Life
when heard that they intended to call in surgeon to
name day before which Savers could not finish the
pending affair. 1t will show my position, and as Bells
Life has not published it, you will do great kind
ness in letting the English people hear what have to
say 1t the late meeting is not to be resumed and the
belt is not to to for what has already taken
place, claim to be the first on the list to meet Sayers
again for the next chance to conquer it,"
The letter to Bells Life is as follows:
Not having been able to obtain from YOU as referee
the iual decision upon the fight Tuesday last de-
sire to demand through you meeting within the
present week. | make this demand from having been
informed that it had been suggested your part that
should give Savers sufficient time recover from GER
tain injuries received by him.
Now, sir, while | am willing to accommodate him in
any proper way, must not be uunndfu of my own
right also received injuries, but barganed for them;
and put it to you, a of honor whether if had
been deprived, through the effects of said battle of my
eyesght, or Of the of my arm, as in the case of
Brette when disabled by Savers you would have made
Savers wait for me for any length Of time that might be
dictated by my private doctor.
When this match made the date for the battle was
the l6:h or as soon as could get to fight and &C.
cordng to the rules if the battle should be interrupted
it my understanding, and believe il is the law that
should fight within week. We did meet according
to contract. The battle said to be unfinished and
ready to it at any moment within lawful limits
II Savers not able on account OF Injuries received from
me- and cannot meet according the rules of manly
opposition, demand and claim that he resign to me the
the belt which he is not, according the rules of the
prize ring entitled to retain. Hoping to receive
answer before this week expires stating your views IT,
full am yours etc"
7. S.-Iou will please understand that don't wish to
compel Savers to fight, because he represented be
in disabled state, but wish to obtain that which
think have already won and which will cheerfully
hand back when he any other person thinks he ca1
take it from me-"
