It would be more polite of them (switching hats to Miss Manners) to acknowledge the letter and its contents in some way. Such a large and tricky disclosure is not something to ignore.
You could ask them, politely, if they received the letter you sent last week, and see what that provokes. It can be tricky to tell (certainly for me, not knowing them and not having details) whether they're in denial, gobsmacked into silence, or offended in some way, or what.
Regardless, they should treat your girlfriend as they would treat any similar male attachment of such duration at this point, and if they don't, you may politely request that they not neglect her.
