An old Joe memory

[William Benjamin]

Joe,

I thought of you in the field the other day.  It was an old upright with two
broken shanks to repair.  I was delighted to have them both come out right:
the back stops were level, the drilling went strait and so on.  It sure was
a long ways from taking a test when I was so nervice.

Thanks,

William
