Though there is no reference to any of this in the letter, you somehow picked up the notion that Mrs. A (whom she turned to for help) is a rebbetzin, and you go on to suggest that this rebbetzin could have consulted her husband the rav.

The fact that she had the wherewithal to browse the web for information at length is proof that there was no real emergency.
