Crossword Genius

Character of landlord (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

letter

I believe this is a double definition.

'character' is the first definition.
(I know that letter is a type of character)

'landlord' is the second definition.
(landlords let property)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for letter that I've seen before include "An alphabetic unit" , "Eg, A" , "Written message" , "Written character - landlord" , "Form of correspondence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
