Dear Miss Emmaline.
Last year in May your column had a letter from a woman signed ‘Confused in Casper’. She had a good lady friend who wanted to be more than just friends, and she wanted it too, but was afraid of what people would think and what could happen to her friend. You told her the real problem was her fear of disapproval and embarrassment, and she had to make a choice and either way she would pay a price, but she should be true to herself.
That hit home to me. I was in the same place, had lots of fears about what could happen, and had to make a decision between doing nothing and losing my friend. I thought hard about it and about what you said, and made the choice to be with my friend. It ain’t been easy all the time this past year, but I don’t regret it a single minute, best thing I ever did. If you really want something, you gotta do something about it. So I did. I hope ‘Confused in Casper’ took the chance, too.
Please sign me “True To Myself”.
Sincerely,
Ennis Del Mar

Dear Mr. Del Mar.
I appreciate your writing about how Confused’s letter and the advice given in response helped you make your decision. This kind of letter from a reader always cheers me up.
However, I can’t find that particular letter and response in any of my columns from last May or the year before that. Perhaps it appeared in a different advice column, and you have confused the two columns. In any event, I hope you and your friend have many happy years together.
Sincerely,
“Emmaline”
