("She is the rain and snows that arise from the waters and replenish them again.") - I can't find it in 'Letters'. It doesn't sound like the way Tolkien would put it such a way. What Tolkien says in 'Letters' is: 'We are not in 'fairy-land but in real river-lands in autumn. Goldberry represents the actual seasonal changes in such lands.' (Letter no.210, to Forrest J. Ackerman) Googling your phrase takes me to this page, among others - http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Goldberry - which says that the phrase comes from a source-book for some game or other.
