Letter from Mr Ive's young daughter? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

missive

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

'letter' is the definition.
(I know that letter can be written as missive)

'mr ive's young daughter?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'mr' could be 'ive' and 'ive' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'miss' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for missive that I've seen before include "message" , "intelligence in this?" , "Letter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
