Letter from a hothead (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aitch

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'letter' is the definition.
(aitch is a kind of letter of the alphabet)

'a hothead' is the wordplay.
'hothead' becomes 'itch' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a'+'itch'='AITCH'

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aitch that I've seen before include "first bit of hymn?" , "the start of hives?" , "character leading heroes" , "bone" , "Aspirated letter" .)
