Ok if I recall correctly the first two letter bottles were deemed authentically written by Maria.
Nope, they're deemed written by whoever signed 'Beatrice' in Maria's diary. And Featherine only wrote 3, 4, 5, and now 6.
Also Ep5 is longer than 1, 2, and 3.
EDIT: Also, I would HIGHLY suggest making one last attempt to solve Umineko before finishing Episode 6, as Episode 6 is probably the most common Episode for one to just kind of 'get the answer' while reading... followed closely by Episode 7.
