Having one in your hold would be a set of restrictions and authorities similar to the way that the Bretonian Privateers are restricted, but it would also be a lead back to whomever issued the Letter in the first place.
That would force a Privateer to have a patron, or else they are just another pirate.
If you restrict distribution to someone in the official faction, then you don't have abuses of the system by having Bob log his Rheinland Military indy to get George a Letter for his Privateer.
Good idea, except the fact that lolwhuts and trigger-happy officers still would be like: duh, you pie-rat.
