What is the apparent purpose of the letter? What is its real purpose?
Is it formal, informal or does it mix registers?
Look for formal or upper register language - how would this be said in plainer English? What are the purposes of adopting this register?
Which features could be described as narrative? How are fantasy and reality fused? How is characterisation achieved?
What techniques of tact are employed?
What subtleties might an adult reader discern that Emily may not?
How is Emily likely to respond to this letter?
