Daughter read Poe's moving letters for brigand (9)
I believe the answer is:
desperado
'daughter read poe's moving letters for brigand' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'daughter read poe's moving' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'moving' indicates an anagram (letters are moved around).
'read'+'poes'='readpoes'
'readpoes' is an anagram of 'esperado'.
'd'+'esperado'='DESPERADO'
Can you help me to learn more?
