I suppose I just enjoy wondering what the conversation was like. Did they call him over right away to tell him all about it– possibly with the note that he was expected to help keep them from getting caught? Or was Hannibal just at their house one day and said, "Uh, amicus meus, did you know there's a man living in your basement? Oh, you did? Well, I suppose that's all right, then."
He's certainly gone long enough that letters make sense! It's just that he comments, when he replies, that he won't be in DC for long enough to receive their responses that makes me think the letters are almost more just a sign of affection than actual communication.
