How many letters did Charlie write in The Perks of Being a Wallflower?

Answer 1

At the end of the book, Charlie explains that he heard a girl talking to her friend about someone. Charlie was not a part of the conversation. Because of what these girls were saying about this someone, he decided that the someone they were talking about was a good person. He doesn't really know who this person is.

"I just don't want you to think that I picked your name out of the phone book. It would kill me if you thought that. So, please believe me when I tell you that I felt terrible after Michael died, and I saw a girl in class, who didn't notice me, and she talked all about you to a friend of hers. And even though I didn't know you, I felt like I did because you sounded like such a good person. The kind of person who wouldn't mind receiving letters from a kid. The kind of person who would understand how they were better than a diary because there is communion and a diary can be found."

And that is what he is referring to here in the beginning.

"I am writing to you because she said you listen and understand and didn't try to sleep with that person at that party even though you could have. Please don't try to figure out who she is because then you might figure out who I am, and I really don't want you to do that. I will call people by different names or generic names because I don't want you to find me. I didn't enclose a return address for the same reason."
