Times: Il see by your article of Saturday
that you misunderstood my wishes, and it
does me great injustice. hare no difference
to settle with Saycrs, except such as tried
to settle with him on the 10th, and instead of
being called boy ought to be termed a
baby, ifafter having come so far, and not
having got settlement, should he willing
to extinguish my purpose for few good ua-
tured pats on the back, and being told am
a fine fellow. I have received a great anony-
nous letters, asking if am not ashamed of
a great fellow like me to come over to whip
q little Savers. Under ordinary circum-
stances, should not think of sending a
challenge to man of Sayers' size, but Eng
land thinks him big enough to defend the
belt; went it, and cannot get it. except
through him. The enclosed letter, which I
ded to call in the surgeon to name the day
before which Savers could not finish the
pending affair will ahow my position, and
as Bells Life has not published it, you will
do me great kindness by Lifting the Eng
fish people hear what have to say. If the
late battle is not to be resumed, and the belt is
not to come to me for what has already ta-
ken place, claim to be first on the list to
meet Sayers again for the next chance to
conquer it."
The following is the letter to Bells
Life: Not having been able to obtain from
you, as referee, the final decision upon
the fight of Tuesday last, desire to demand
through you new meeting within the pres
ent week. make this demand from having
been informed that it has been suggested
on your part, that should give Sayers suf
ficient time to recover from certain injuries
received by him in any proper way, must
not be unmindful of my own rights I also
received injuries, but bargained for them
and put it to you, as a man of honor,
whether, if had been deprived, through
the effect of the said fight, of my eye sight
or the use of my arms, rs in the case of Bret
tie, when disabled by Sayers wait for any
length of time that might be dictated by
my private doctor. When these matches,
were made, the date of the battle was the
10th, or rs soon as we could get to frht,
and occording to the rules of the battle,
should not be interrupted. It was my nm
derstanding, and believe it is the law, that
we should fight within q week We did
meet according to contract; the battle is
said to be unfinished. | am prepared to re-
new at any moment, within lawful limits !;
If Sayers is not ready on account of injuries
from me. and cannot meet me according to
the rules Of the P. r., he is not entitled to
retain the belt. Hoping to receive an an
sw wer from you before the week expires, sta
ting your views in full.
am, &c, &C., JoHN c. HEENAN.
P. S.-You will please understand don't
wish to compel Sayers to fight because he is
represented to be in disabled state, but /,
wish to obtain what think I have already
won, an! which will choerfully hand back
whenever he or any other person thinks he
can take it from me.
Two hundred pounds are said to have
been subscribed in Liverpool by American
Captains for the benefit Of Heenan.
