A question that has been puzzling me for some time...

How do Muggle-born students (first years) know how to find Diagon 
Alley to get their hogwarts supplies? Do they perhaps recieve 
something extra with their letter to explain about the Leaky 
Cauldron?? I haven't found any clues to this in canon - has anyone 
else found any information on this? 

If this has already been discussed, feel free to just point me to the 
message numbers. ta
