rel/rev="made" is in common usage. You could use rel="made" when linking 
from author to letter, and rev="made" for the reverse relationship.

To link letters in a series of correspondence there is of course 
rel="next" and rel="prev". Also rel="first" and rel="last" may prove easy, 
and rel="contents" to get back to the full listing of letters.

Not sure about linking recipients to letters. You may need to define your 
own rel/rev="recipient".
