The French, including a race of Latvians! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

letts

'latvians' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'the french including a race' is the wordplay.
'the french' becomes 'les' (plural form of 'the' in French).
'including' indicates putting letters inside.
'a race' becomes 'tt'.
'les' going around 'tt' is 'LETTS'.

'of' is the link.

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
