daughter Abihail
This information reminds the reader who Esther was.
Note 2 topic: translate-names
אֲבִיחַ֛יִל
Abihail
This man was Esther’s father and Mordecai’s uncle. See how you translated his name in 2:15.
וּמָרְדֳּכַ֥י
and,Mordecai
Since the Hebrew verb wrote is feminine singular, it means that the letter was from Esther. The mention of Mordecai here probably means that Mordecai helped her to write the letter. Alternate translation: “with Mordecai”

to,confirm DOM letter the,purim the,this the=second(fs)
This second letter of Purim could refer to: (1) this letter that Esther is writing, which is the second letter that the Jews will receive about the festival of Purim. Alternate translation: “an additional letter about Purim with her authority” or (2) the second letter that Mordecai wrote (See: verses 20–22), creating the festival of Purim. Alternate translation: “to confirm what Mordecai had written about Purim in his second letter” In either case, this letter from Esther is to add her royal authority to what Mordecai had already written.
9:29-32 The letter that Queen Esther . . . wrote provided further official endorsement to Mordecai’s proposal (9:20-23).
