Message from Peel: it's garbled (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

epistle

'message' is the definition.
(I know that message can be written as epistle)

'peel it's garbled' is the wordplay.
'garbled' is an anagram indicator.
'peel'+'its'='peelits'
'peelits' is an anagram of 'EPISTLE'.

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for epistle that I've seen before include "Apostle's letter" , "extract of the Bible" , "Writing" , "A letter from St Paul" , "Romans perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
