A word:

Mercury

Queen:

Queen is a rock band. One of the members is Freddie Mercury.

Letter:

Mercury is the Roman god of messages and communication (and hence, letters). (I'm not completely satisfied with this one, but it works.)

Thermometer:

Many thermometers are (were? I'm not sure if they still are) made with mercury in them.

Also, Through the Looking-Glass features a (different) character called the Red Queen.

Letter

"Red letter day" is an idiom meaning a special day, or a holiday.

Thermometer

Thermometers often contain alcohol with red dye for visibility.
