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.

$\begingroup$ This (and Will's suggestion) was my first thought, but I didn't submit it as an answer because I wasn't sure if, by "directly associated", it meant what those words normally mean, or it meant "a common phrase is made by combining the words" $\endgroup$ Apr 7, 2016 at 11:33
