53. Found it.

Dear Pat,
You came upon me carving some kind of little figure out of wood and you said, “Why don’t you make something for me?”
I asked you what you wanted, and you said, “A box.”
“What for?”
“To put things in.”
“What kind of things?”
“Whatever you have,” you said.
Well, here’s your box. Nearly everything I have is in it, and it is not full. Pain and excitement are in it, and feeling good or bad and evil thoughts and good thoughts- the pleasure of design and some despair and the indescribable joy of creation.
And on top of these are all the gratitude and love I have for you.
And still the box is not full.

That's pretty neat. I put odd stuff in mind, old rings, plastic frogs, weed, momentos. I have them in bone, all types of wood, wicker. Some are jeweled, some are round, some have no lids. Just something about little boxes.
I find them at thrift stores quite often for cheap.
