According to Inducks, Rosa's 'A Letter From Home' has the alternate 
title 'The Old Castle's OTHER Secret'. 

So, that's why I expect the story to be yet another revisit, this time 
to Barks's 'The Old Castle's Secret' (OS 189), with some connection to
'The Fabulous Philosopher's Stone' (US 10). And I've seen too much of
this same old Barks recycling continuation gimmick, to look forward to 
such a story. But that's just my opinion.

I think it's both.
