In my opinion you should UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES try to find out who wrote the letter.
If you do, and then for some reason have to discipline the grandchild, or if for some reason you don't cast the grandchild in a future show on a borderline call, you will be second-guessed. You will have to deal with the QUESTION of "are you punishing this students?" for the rest of that student's duration at the school. Even if you are completely objective - it is hard (as you know) to be able to justify every borderline call.
The fact that you don't know who wrote the letter is GOOD for you. It is PROTECTION for you. Now you can continue to do your job, make your judgment calls, kick ass when it needs to be kicked, be lenient when it is time to be lenient, without anybody thinking you know who wrote the letter.
