Theon says to Stannis in the same sample chapter
quote:

"The north remembers. The Red Wedding, Lady Hornwood's fingers, the sack of Winterfell, Deepwood Motte and Torrhen's Square, they remember all of it." Bran and Rickon. They were only miller's boys. "Frey and Manderly will never combine their strengths. They will come for you, but separately. Lord Ramsay will not be far behind them. He wants his bride back. He wants his Reek."
quote:

In the Pink Letter it says: "I want my bride back. I want my Reek."


Sorry to bring back an old topic but I just ran across this post from Belle, nice catch. This is precisely the type hint GRRM gives that the letter actually comes from Stannis or someone in Stannis' camp. Someone who heard Theon's statement, not Ramsey/Roose. Nice Catch.

I agree. Nice catch. And it makes me think it is Theon all the more.

However, I'm gonna stick with my guess: Mel wrote that letter.

The Pink Letter also mentions the wildling princess and her little prince.

Would Reek know of this?

I just read that the other day and I think it is pretty conclusive evidence that Stannis wrote that letter.

However, what is it supposed to accomplish? To get Jon to send down reinforcements? It may be intended to do that, considering Theon told Stannis about how the only group of Stannis supporters between him and are full of green boys and old men, but there is no way that Jon would be able to get Nights watch/The Free People down in time to assist Stannis in the coming battle.
