Ah, that's rather common.... [Far, far too common.] Greed and paranoia are pretty strong traits, especially for the wealthy.
The game isn't whether or not Beatrice exists. It's whether or not Beatrice the Witch exists, isn't it? The letter doesn't disprove Beatrice, but it may disprove Beatrice the Witch. Not that I can be certain at this point, but it's something I plan to keep in mind. Since the title seems a bit too contradictory for you to have let slip by.
