The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1860-05-23


LONDON, May 5, l860.-Dear Spirit:-I am happy
to inform you that am very well, and that the
little scar | got under the eye is almost entirely
gone. In a week or more no one would suppose
for moment that had ever been hit at all.
need not say anything to you about the manner in
which the fight was brought to a eonclusion-ohy
this, have fault with Sayers for anything that
was done. 1t was natural that he should avail
himself of every opportunity that offered to
his belt and his hard earned reputation; but there
are others whom hold responsible for depriving
me of what | earned and all that am sorry for is,
that there is earthly way in which | can get re-
dress. | am entirely in the hands of the referee,
and he says Sayers had a right to be relieved when
| got him sin chancery,'' SO he gave him two
months to get his wind and come to time. Rather
a long spell This, think, should be the newest
wlfaI Is CALLED tliz new rules of the ring I am
glad to say, however, that through the determina-
tion of Mr.. W., L have got day set for new
battle, but | cannot mention it at present, as it
would come back here in time to interrupt the meet
ing In the mean time think shall go over to Ire
land to train, or to some place at any rate where
shall not be harassed as i was before They gave
me pretty rough time of it with their warrants
and notices to quit, and want no more of that
kind of exercise. | must say, however, that have
but little faith in being able to get the belt, thought
have the most perfect confidence in being able to
win it in less than half an hour. The persons who
willing to bet 100 to 40 againStme before will
not let me have it 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 bv the boxers here the natural pro-
tector of the trophy of Old England There are
hundred difficulties in the way and the fighting
part is, so far as l am concerned, the least of
ALL They now say that the Government will sure
ly interfere to prevent US if we attempt to meet
again, and, in addition to this, they threaten to
prosecute us both for what we have already done
Rather tight on the American people that as the
boys say at home and, to tell you the truth, |
little uneasy that they may keep their word
Under this state of things, shouldn't much wonder
to Sayers arrested for the first time; and if
that course is taken, and he is bound in
heavy sum, shall be told that it is not his fault
he cannot meet me, and the stakes will be drawn,
and he will keep the belt, for his term is out some
time in June. To become Champion after that
should have to wait till new belt is subscribed
for, and then would have to fight for it with
plenty of the 100to-4O fellows around to help me
to win it. However, shall stick to my point as
long as | can, and get meeting out of Sayers
if possible So, ifI do not bring over the belt, no
body shall say that did not take every fair chance
to get it. But L must hold up here, for | have
now written the longest letter almost that ever
wrote in my life.
Please give my regards to all friends, and be-
lieve me, truly yours, }. C. HEENAN.
p. S.-We will have no speculation in the next
fight in the way of railroad trains three guinea
tickets There will be merely party of twenty
five side seconds, principals spectators, and all
told and then hope and think that the best man
may win. D. e. IL.
