Crossword Genius

One literally from the landlord? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

letter

I believe this is a double definition.

'one literally' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

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

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for letter that I've seen before include "A, B or C, for example" , "Written message" , "Item sent - character" , "A written form of communication" , "Character - mail - landlord" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
