That symbol from what i've read is an alchemical symbol of geometric shapes becoming one.
EDIT: I'm thinking the code on the letter is not base 64.

I'm not seeing any letter or book. Do I need a MS account to see them?

ok, what I have found.....
Triangle and circle.
Combines the symbol for eternity with the symbol for the Trinity http://www.gocek.org/christiansymbols/?search=
The circle and triangle, used in the evocation of the seventy-two spirits of the Ars Goetia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goetia

Looks like it is something called a Solomonic Triangle.

Assuming key refers to a Vigenere cipher?

Yeah, it is. My profile picture, for example, got renamed to "m_dab2f0d008e2e45e6dd038f9b3905a52".
EDIT:
The circle-in-triange could also be the alchemical symbol for "red fire" (from here ). There has apparently been a ton of discussion about this sort of symbol in forums, due to it being on a version of the cover of the last harry potter book.
Another edit:
The way the key is mirrored on both pages makes me think it's possible that the code on the left page could be backwards (line by line), or that something else is supposed to be looked at backwards/mirrored.

The symbol on the key could be a number of things.. but when shifted into its upright position it looks as though its an inverted triangle with a circle contained inside... i read a website earlier but lost the link to it.. i managed to copy it before it was accidently lost though so here is one supposed defination of the inverted triangle/circle
1.) inverted triangle w/ circle inside: 30:30 · According to Diderot's a sign for or de mine, gold from mines.
2.) another posibility would be the "All Seeing Eye" which a link for it is here:
http://altreligion.about.com/library/glossary/symbols/bldefsallseeingeye.htm
Quote:
This emblem was eventually adopted by Freemasons as a symbol for the Great Architect.
as for the Christian symbol... isnt a square supposed to be in between the circle and triangle for that to be correct? ..hm.. im gonna keep looking for something that may relate...
the Freemasons "All Seeing Eye" could relate, for they are a pretty secretive bunch thats been around for a very very very long time... this goes with the whole "mystery of the bloodline" theme i guess..
EDIT: Ok its late, time to go to bed, but I have one more thing to add..
i googled: key, "circle inside triangle" and got this... its a picture of "Solomons Key" i really dont know if its been said but heres a pic of it anyways... check the top...

Letter code
Yeah, I thought that too but I tried every key I could think of and still came out with gobbledigook . I'm sure it's something "obvious" that we're missing, as the blog says "the key is in the letter". I tried "in the letter", "letter", "destiny", "ambroise", "solomon", ... Nothing came out that made any sense. I guess I might have got the key right but the cipher wrong...

maybe her name is the key or 23.....
Ok, options of the key so far:
Bergle
23
solomon
red fire
trinity and eternity
evocation (from solomons circle used to evoke the 73 demons or whatever)
Possible backwards code
I can't today.. (mybe tonight) but could someone try reversing the code (making sure you break the lines where they are in the book) and sending it through ROT 23
and then both forwards and backwards, use the above clues as the key for substitution ciphers?
I have real-life crap to get done
