Howard's Letter on Habit as the Key to Temperance
In New York the writer argues that drinking is a habit, not a vice, citing daily patterns of sobriety on Sundays versus weekdays. He spots drinkers in major hotels, notes personal restraint by clergy, bankers, and editors, and urges moderation as a practical habit attainable by ordinary people. He shares anecdotes of self control and concludes with a call to cultivate temperance through deliberate habit.
