Man of letters sending same? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mailer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'man' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'letters sending same?' is the wordplay.
'letters' becomes 'mail' (letters sent in the post or mail).
'sending same?' becomes 'er' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'mail'+'er'='MAILER'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mailer that I've seen before include "Poster" , "novelist" , "Norman --, US author" , "writer from America" , "One putting armour on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
