Thank you for clarifying this to me. With the word puño I thought it may have meant an urgent or angry letter.

You're welcome.
Something de puño (y letra) is something handwritten, or something in one's own handwriting. de tu puño y letra = in your own handwriting Escrito de puño (y letra) de ... = written by the hand of ...

Yes, it is. But I wouldn't write y letra between brackets, as I don't think it's common to say just escrito de tu puño. Of course, it's not impossible, but the common idiom, at least here, is de tu puño y letra.
Nothing to do with angriness.

Yo siempre la he escuchado como una frase hecha completa "de su puño y letra", nunca suelta "puño y letra", como aparece en el modismo.
Es una carta auténtica de Velázquez, de su puño y letra. Escribió de su propio puño y letra sus últimas recomendaciones antes de morir. Saludos
