missives

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

'notes' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'female 2' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'miss' (miss refers to a young woman).
'v' becomes 'ives' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'miss'+'ives'='MISSIVES'

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for missives that I've seen is " Written messages".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
