Crossword Genius

Something in post for landlord maybe (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

letter

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'something in post' is the first definition.
(letters are sent in the post)

'landlord maybe' is the second definition.
(I know that landlord is a type of letter)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for letter that I've seen before include "Character of the alphabet" , "Character - mail - landlord" , "It's one of twenty-six" , "Character; missive" , "Piece of correspondence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
