Crossword Genius

Footnote I added to a letter from Greece (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

psi

'a letter from greece' is the definition.
(letter from the Greek alphabet)

'footnote i added' is the wordplay.
'footnote' becomes 'PS'.
'added' says to put letters next to each other.
'ps'+'i'='PSI'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for psi that I've seen before include "Pounds per square inch (abbr.); Greek letter" , "foreign letter" , "Pounds per sq. in. (abbr.)" , "one employed by Socrates?" , "Greek character" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
