That person doesn't know Charlie in person, but he might recognize who is he, so Charlie uses aliases. I might be wrong, but somehow I remember he said, toward the end of the book that he found receivers address in phone book, and decided to write to that person because Charlie heard he is understanding and he felt he should tell his story.(less)
