According to the letter (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

literal

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">according to the letter</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for literal that I've seen before include "mistake" , "Ill rate (anag.)" , "Not figurative" , "Accurate and unexaggerated" , "according to specifications" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
