I thought it was any kind of pleasantry thank you note. Thanks for the clarification. Also, As a Midwesterner, I was unaware that saying "bread and butter" when something comes between two walking partners was strictly a Midwest phenomenon. If I write a blog post about it I will include a link to this article. I was not aware that “bread-and-butter note” only applied only to a home stay situation.
