 Legal status of private communications - Iffy
I'm not sure a letter of the type Leif describes would be copyright, but even if it is, there is the legal concept of fair dealing.

Anyone can publish extracts of copyright material for the purpose of criticism and review.

This is what has happened here.

Leif says 'large extracts' have been published, and there have been arguments over how much can be used, but there is no dispute extracts can be used.

In any event, all Leif could get would be a small payment and possibly an undertaking by the person not to publish extracts again.
