Dear Mr. Brown: Your note, of course, really requires no answer. Having been trained in the same school of deportment--and roughly at the same time--I know that a "thank you" letter is supposed to be conclusive in itself.
But you gave expression to one thought that simply compels comment from me. You said, "It was a rare occasion in the life of just a locomotive engineer, commonly known as a `hoghead,' to be asked to sit with such exalted company." It strikes me that your presence lent distinction to the gathering, and that it occured to none that the reverse of this proposition could be true.1
With best wishes and personal regard, Sincerely
