A chit, perhaps, or letter (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aitch

'letter' is the definition.
(aitch is the name for the letter H)

'a chit perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'chit' anagrammed gives 'itch'.
'a'+'itch'='AITCH'

'or' is the link.

(Other definitions for aitch that I've seen before include "8th letter of the alphabet" , "bone" , "first bit of hymn?" , "that may be dropped" , "that I will immediately succeed" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
