My intention in the portion ^part^ of the message you refer to was to submit the propriety of past prohibiting sales by retail <&> ^I^ was induced ^to do so^ by a belief that sales of that character were more <disposed> to fraud than when the amount sold was ^is^ of a nature to excite more care on the part of the purchaser. I consider the term "wholesale" as alike applicable to piece & package sales & did not mean to express any opinion upon the point as to the extension of the restriction whether the sales should be confined to the latter or not; considering ^it^ most proper to <leave> that where the whole must be left to the ^sound^ discretion of the Legislature. I have shewn the regulations you suggest to the Chairman of the Committee ^in the assembly^ & found him favourably disposed to at least a portion of them. Any suggestions upon that or any other part of the subject that you may think proper to address to the Legislature will I am persuaded be received in a literal & kind spirit <illegible> and acted upon with a single eye to the just rights & interests of all concerned. If you should prefer to make ^me^ the channel of communication. to the Legislature I shall (although for that is not necessary or ^nor^ usual) I shall cheerfully lay before them any ^the Legislature any^ memorial you may desire to have thus communicated.
