Letter 1 - Christopher offers to make sure Francis and Caroline's children can't use magic. Letter 2 - Same as above. Letter 3 - Francis asking Christopher for help. Considering the emphasis placed upon Gwendolyn giving Cat cramps--which I believe is stated, if not outright implied, to have been when she put his lives in the matchbook--I'd say that was what Francis's letter was about.
L1 was written "soon after [Cat's] parents had been married." Because Cat's parents were disowned when they married, it's likely none of their relatives would have been at the wedding. However, Christopher has a tendency to do whatever the hell he wants, and he was very fond of Carolyn. So his offer to Francis and Carolyn could have been made at the wedding itself. Considering there's only three letters, this is probably very likely.

Ah, thank you so much. My notes on Charmed Life were the last done and sloppiest - I need to tweak them a bit more. I just sort of slapped them down as I began the application when I realized that I had yet to do it, and thus yet to decide on a proper age.
RANDOMLY, LET ME EXPRESS MY AMAZEMENT THAT THE NICE LITTLE GIRL COUSIN MARRIED THE BOORISH JERK COUSIN. All righty.
I am not sure if there was an emphasis in regard to the letters, with the cramps - Christopher says that Frank had expressed a concern for the way in which his daughter was using his son. As Frank had magic of his own (and obviously enough pride in it to be so very affronted by that offer), it's not unlikely that he and his wife would have been able to discern, much as Christopher did (or perhaps only enchanters/sorcerers can?) that there was one type of magic and then another.
THEN AGAIN. She states when she comes back, "I've been using his magic ever since he was a baby". And Gwendolyn can't be that much older than Cat - so holy shit Gwendolyn. She may not have

HAHAHA YEAH I finally picked that up this time on my reread of TLoCC. I was very pleased with myself.
Ah, no, not in regards to the letters, but in regards to the story as a whole there is. Actually I thiiiiiiink Cat might even have made the connection when Gwendolyn admitted she put his lives in the matchbook. --Actually, no, I just checked that, and Gwendolyn outright says what she did gave him cramps. Severely debilitating cramps, which is why I think that's when Francis wrote to Christopher again

HAHA, yes. What mystified me is that the list of terms and characters on the DWJ website classified two separate Caroline Chants, as if Christopher actually had two different cousins. I was like... what no... same... person, guys, that little girl IS Cat's mum
