So basically you would:
1. Check to see if the letter was consistent with her other known writings
But doesn't that beg the question: how do you know the other writings were actually from her?
What I'm getting at is: Aren't you in the same quandry concerning a letter from your mother as those who can't say 100% for certain that a message is from God?
