I really don't know why that sentence was given as an alternative translation (bad machine learning???) because et can't be translated as "one", only as "a/an". The correct word for the numeral one [1] is ett (for nouns of neuter gender).
As for the verb "to pen", that is a valid translation, but much less common than "writing/writes" and is a consequence of variations in English vocabulary.

That's a bit confusing when you think in german. The letter isn't neuter it's masculine so it would be "en brev" , but I think it comes with time to know the gender in norwegian. And that's the fact I love the comments, they help so much
