Need help with sentence (grammar)

"This is a letter Tracy writes TO Mark in response to a letter he wrote her".

Is the sentence better without the IS ??

Eliminating the "is" eliminates the verb in the main clause. No, you cannot eliminate it.

It says: "This IS A letter...
So, you are actually missing two words, not only the verb is. So, it is definitely wrong.
