Note this list is about the _distribution_ it really isn't about document
markup questions.

it almost never makes sense to use T1 encoding with LuaTeX, certainly any
fonts you load via `\newfontface`
are not T1 encoded. Your example generates an error as the letter
environment is missing its argument so
unrelated to fonts

! Undefined control sequence.
l.9     \newfontface\Dunhill

You get no error if you fix the markup to

    \begin{letter}{abc}
