I think Verity left that letter for Lowen to find. She’s been observing her throughout the whole book and knows that if Lowen found something that could hurt Jeremy this much, (Like the manuscript) she wouldn’t share it with him unless she felt she had no other choice.

Think about it, why would she fill the letter with backstory if it were actually addressed to Jeremy who lived through those alleged moments. I think Verity planted that letter to torture Lowen for the rest of her life. The letter was an evil genius (successful) attempt to own Lowen for the rest of her life.

Also, Jeremy’s reaction to the manuscript is proof that he hadn’t seen it before. I know his words were “where did you find this” and that could either mean that he knew about it or that he was shocked it existed. But still, his rage and emotion was not that of someone who had read the manuscript before and definitely not that of someone who had time to process his wife’s evil side.

I mean really, would Jeremy seriously be as unsuspecting as he was for most of the novel (notably with the locked door incident) if he had read the manuscript?
