Since Brienne was responsible for sparing Stannis and Brienne is a sworn sword to Sansa she presumably told Sansa all about Stannis' continued life and where to find him. She clearly is keeping things from Jon so I see no reason she wouldn't do the same here (especially if Brienne revealed her yet as unknown reasons for sparing him).
And the scene RIGHT BEFORE is all about her trying to figure out whether to trust Stannis to join the fight: First interrogating Davos about Stannis and then interrogating Jon about Davos. Only after Jon vouched for Davos and Davos for Stannis did she take pen to paper. This is further strengthened by the formal nature of the letter with signature and seal. Littlefinger had already offered his support. She need not take the risk a formal decree would bring. The only one who would be swayed (even required it) by such formalities is the One True King.
Someone deciphered the message Sansa wrote, it's apparently meant for the Vale.
Spoiler: S6
In any case, if Stannis is around, he wouldn't have any men to give Sansa, and if he did join their cause, he'd expect the North's help in his continued crusade against Tommen, which I don't think the North would be willing to do.
Or, as all will hope, the Umbers are actually masterminds and are using Rickon as glorified bait to murder Ramsay.

This Aya plot armor is getting stupid. GoT was the one show where choices matter. If your character gets into a spot where they should die they would die.
meanwhile Arya betrays a literal assassins guild
then LITERALLY strolls around openly
then LITERALLY turns her back to the world to look at an ocean
then after suffering what should have been mortal wounds defeats trained assassin with much more training than her.
and finally breaks into an assassins guide while still suffering mortal wounds
At this point she might as well go back to Winterfell because her and Ramsey are going to be the only two people left alive in the world because neither can die no matter what life throws at them.

but what mortal wounds are you talking about. it was a dagger in her stomach! you won't die if its not a critical hit.
It was multiple stab wounds to the stomach (including being twisted) from a trained assassin of the premiere assassins guild in thee world who took her by surprise. It was bleeding profusely and she took multiple falls both before and after it was stitched up by an actress whose only expertise is some of her exes also needed stitches once in a while. It seems very implausible to me that a trained assassin who literally was able to set up her attack perfectly stabbed her multiple times and managed to avoid every single vital organ in that region.
Compare to Ned Stark who got stabbed once in the leg and spent the rest of the season with a profound and disabling limp that required a walking stick and milk of the poppy to manage the pain from.

its not the same. if someone hit your feet you can't walk normally
if someone hit your stomach you will bleed. if you don't die becuase of blood lost or it get Infectious you won't die. if it was a dagger to heart or lungs it was a different story , but it was a dagger in stomach.
her fall in last ep (from that bridge) was a bit too much I agree as a wounded person who fell will start loosing blood rapidly and they can't just walk around in streets like that. but the way they show her crawling to a corner and then standing up normally in this ep was not unreal becuase her wounds was bundled.
the fact the assassin failed to kill her in first place was weird yeah I agree. she sucked

Yeah but the way it was bleeding indicated to me some major blood vessels were hit. And it just seems so outrageous a trained assassin stabbing the gut wouldn't hit a kidney or liver. Those are in the exact location she was being stabbed and the assassin (even if she somehow lost her Faceless Man precision) gave it multiple stabs.

Why would it be weird? Unless you assume she lost her eyesight at one point too, there's been no indication that she has ever or would ever train that way. She always attacked Arya when she herself could see.
I thought this episode was pretty great, a lot of momentum is being built up. Maybe one of the best this season. (Though they've all been pretty awesome)
Eh, dont underestimate gut wounds. A puncture wound to the intestines will cause all sort of (literal) shit to spew into your guts. You will die very painfully, unless modern medicine is there to fill the hole with antibiotics. I had a very close friend who went through that, it was nasty.
That's how Robert Baratheon (and Drogo, to an extent) died in the first place, btw.
But I can actually overlook that. What really bothered me was that totally unnecessary chase through the streets of braavos. I could almost hear benny hill playing in he back.
Maybe the fact that the res of the episode was pretty good helped highlight the contrast.
Guys, I've been saying it for years, the Arya storyline is nothing less than awful. I'm just sad we didn't see the Many-Faced God taken in any interesting direction.
