I don't understand the significance of the letter that Demba had. It's easy to miss stuff in this show. If Demba kept important information from Red I wonder if he'd kill him.

@aid45 Reddington gave the letter (possibly telling of true info about Reddington) to Denbe to give to Elizabeth on the condition to ONLY give it to her after Reddington's death. Which Reddington only gave to Denbe on the same day that Reddington was trying to get Elizabeth to shoot him but instead she hesitated and was killed.
When Reddington suspected that Elizabeth had read it he had the envelope tested to see if her prints were on the envelope (which came back that they were). Meaning she got it before Reddington's death obviously as he is still alive, Elizabeth isn't. Which means Denbe betrayed Reddington (or so he feels) and gave the envelope to Elizabeth the same day and presumably read it, which Reddington feels that that may be the reason for Elizabeth's hesitation and he believes death.
Now Reddington is feeling betrayed by Denbe for giving Elizabeth the letter right away and also blames him for Elizabeth's death and he wanting to kill Denbe.
Sorry for the run on but hopefully it still helps to clarify things.
