Dear Miss Brooks:
1 have read your corner for many
months and it has helped me in many
ways. 1 have never wRstten to you be-
fore but 1 have two questions which
are -botheriag me. Hoping you can help
me I submit them to you. (1) Are you
working under an assumed name or is
Helen Brooks your real name? l have
often passed people and wondered If
any of them could be you. II you are
writing under an assumed name DO I
know you or do you know me? (2)
Who composed the piano solo Laugh
ing Waters" and can it purchased in
any music store in Salt Lake City? I
have enclosed two of the requested
songs hoping they will help you Do
not think 1 am impertinent from my
first question as 1 am only wondering
about someone who has helped me very
much. 1 remain,

you in this indirect way, Wondering

value, should 1 tell you l was only q

lust know that l really. truly want to
help you in every way l can, and con-
:inue to reap all the good you possibly |
,an from my efforts, and 1 will go on
being happy over just such letters as
yours 1 have this far missed the
pleasure of knowing you. dearie. but
