Many believe theThe author of the firstFirst ofLetter theseis letters islikely [[Hoid]].; Anan excellent argument in favor of this point has been posted [[17s-topic:76|on the forums]]. Sanderson confirmeddid confirm that we "may have read that Hoid has specific beef with Rayse," and given that the Letter is the only writingmention that mentionsof anyone's specifically having aspecific grudge against Rayse, this can be seen as an acknowledgement that Hoid wrote the First Letter{{17s ref|post|50695|text=Hoid has a specific beef against Rayse.|date=2013-03-15}}. The Second Letter, from the epigraphs of Words of Radiance, indicates that the original writer had taken on a name describing one of his "presumed virtues". This could be inferredin reference to meanHoid histaking "wit", which would serve to re-enforceon the theorytitle thatof "Wit" (knownwhile toin be Hoid) was the author of the original LetterAlethkar{{epigraph ref|wor|60}}. Sanderson also made no correction when asked a question about "Hoid's letter," in a Q&A session{{qa ref|1067|2|Is the "old reptile" a dragon?|date=2013-09-24}}.
