Once you become accostumed to the interface, it's ok, if you don't mind a little clicking around. There's also a book at the top of the control/interface page which has realms of information about Egyptian gods and goddesses. To open the letter you can either drop it on the 'ground' and read it there, or open it in the inventory which you reach by right clicking the object, I think.

EDIT:
Just went into the game again to refresh the memory. The way to drop the letter on ground and read it is by left clicking the letter in the left hand bottom corner. If you want to take the letter into the inventory and read it, then you left click the letter on the bottom right hand corner.
