A. Tarrant letter, 1842

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/244248869

This letter from A. Tarrant to A.R. Blakely is a response to a letter Blakely previously sent to Tarrant. In it, Tarrant discusses the organization Sons of Temperance, who he claims has saved his body and soul, as well as "a broken hearted wife, and five helpless children, from starvation and ruin." He praises the efforts of the temperance movement and connects it with religion, saying that he has been redeemed and will, along with others like him, go to heaven. Tarrant closes by saying he only intended his letter to be an acknowledgement of Blakely's previous letter, and that he hopes that he is not thought of as a "Maniac" for his enthusiastic writing.
