Who sends a note to the Montagues which Romeo must answer?

Tybalt. Benvolio says, "Tybalt, the kinsman to old Capulet, hath sent a letter to his father's house" , Mercutio responds "A challenge, on my life", and Benvolio then says, "Romeo will answer it." The letter is a calculated insult, intended to challenge Romeo to fight with Tybalt. Benvolio's opinion is that Romeo will "answer" the challenge, which is to say, that he will accept it and fight Tybalt. When Tybalt and Romeo arrive on the scene later Tybalt again tries to challenge Romeo by saying "Thou art a villain" (This is a pretty feeble insult but then Tybalt is not known for having any kind of brain.) You can compare the scene in Twelfth Night where Sir Andrew has been goaded into issuing a challenge to Cesario by Sir Toby. The insulting letter, which he hopes Cesario will answer, is so lame that Sir Toby decides not to send it at all.
