Pierre ALARD (1745-1826) conventional (Haute-Garonne). L.A.S., "maison d'arrêt des 4 nations" 1st Vendemiaire IV (September 23, 1795), to citizen BOUDIN, Representative of the people, of the Committee of General Safety; 3 pages in-4. Beautiful letter from prison, where he claims his release since he has already proved his innocence and that the Popular Society of Toulouse has confirmed his civism. One cannot judge him twice. He was accused of being "a hebertist, a robespierist, a terrorist and, what is worse, a montagnard [...] I love my country and liberty madly; I have done everything to make my fellow citizens love it [...] I have made the law be executed; sometimes, I agree, with some regret because of its rigor, but if I have done it and I have always done it with the dignity that the elected representative of the people should never neglect [....] Before the 10th Thermidor and when they wanted to close the door of the convention to me, they accused me of aristocracy, or at least of moderentism, because it was then the unfavorable color, and on the 13th of Prairial, in order to exclude me, they made me believe that I was a blood drinker and a most exasperated terrorist. [...] If I do not lose here soon by the iron or by the poison of royalism, my enemies will be unmasked" ....
