would be willing to mail him a token of your appreciation for his work in the
form of a check? Since reciprocation can take many forms, if mailing him a
check, as a token of your appreciation seems uncomfortable, a good bottle of
wine could easily show your gratitude. Please mail any offerings of thanks
