The reason why we think addressee is Ma Sohan is: image of the letter was in the same batch of letters to Sohan (~150 letters) and it was in her and Manik's house.

On this it needs to state that all letters in this batch were written to Sohan and her husband, except one Letter written on 18 Mar 1966 (Punglia).--DhyanAntar 13:41, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

And also in this batch the large majority of letters were written to Sohan, ~92%. This is just a statistical argument, good as far as it goes, though we also have to note that Manik got a larger share of later letters (4/9 in 1968-9, with this letter the only one in 1970).
In the text there is also no clue. Translation goes something like this:
Life is dark Life is sad.
But, the reason is us.
There is darkness in oneself, so there is darkness in life.
If there is light in oneself, life also becomes light.
Life is an extension of oneself.
Life is just a mirror.
Our image is visible in it.
