How do you read a letter written in pencil, when the pencil has been erased? Bonus: What if there's writing?

I have a letter written by a loved one, and there was another letter written on this paper first; but, erased, & the other letter was written over it. How do I read the erased letter? Or, at least parts of it? This loved one has passed, so it's very important to me

    Probably, if you hold the lettering over the light it will show up. Or take a pencil and rub the lead across the letter covering it and it should show up the underneath writing..
