Ceridwen:
Since others are offering up alternative scenarios, here's mine for the 
letter:

Harry goes into Sirius's room, sees all the stuff on the walls.  Sees a 
box in the corner with some old magazines in it, box labeled Property 
of S. Black - Return to Next of Kin - signed somehow to indicate Aurors 
(Crouch's signature?) or Azkaban (official stamp?).  Then, on to the 
litter in the room, pages from magazines, the first page of the 
letter.  Not specifically stated, but there for anyone who wonders, to 
figure out.  Only one sentence added to the book.

Ceridwen.
