Eddard's Letter

I'm with sweetgirl205 on this one - IF a letter was written - big IF - it was written to Stannis, saying Ned supports him as the heir, or a cryptic one saying "Stannis - you and Jon Arryn were right" That IS the honorable thing.



Stannis would be the only person in Westeros - besides himself - to do the right thing with that info. With Stannis on the Throne that protects his family - Stannis wouldn't be hunting down the Starks - just the Lannisters. Robb would still be the Winterfell Heir and Catelyn would be safe - at least until Stannis came a knockin'.



The Jon Snow paternity/maternity issue is too big and explosive and would have put Jon in danger from the Lannisters. Remember Tywin and Jaime are still alive at this point and Joffery is on the IT. And Cersei's - just Cersei. Ned still remembers what happened to Rheagar's children - he would never have given that info to Varys. (He couldn't even trust Catelyn with this info for 14 years - you think he would trust the questionable and side jumping Varys?)



Besides Howland Reed or Benjen (he knows) could tell Jon who is mother is. (Sorry but of course Benjen is MIA - if he were around when Ned lost his head, he would be available to tell Jon who his mom is. )



And even if Ned was allowed to take the Black - Cersei would have had him killed outside of KL - there is no way he would have made it there. Or Tywin would have finished the job.
