George had been able to see Battler and Shannon together. Kyrie had not.
George would have wanted to hurt Shannon with his actions. He would have been able to see Shannon perk up a little when she heard that Battler had written letters; whatever Battler might have felt about her, whether Battler would ever return, George might be able to tell that she was carrying a torch for Battler, and that Battler was still a rival of sorts.
How exactly is Kyrie supposed to think she's ruining Battler's love story? Again, it's a girl he hasn't had contact with for three years, to whom he has made no effort to contact, to whom he wrote the letter only on somebody else's suggestion, for whom he declined his opportunity to see, whom Battler will, in all likelihood, never see again, at an age when "greatest love ever" turns to "we are so splitsville" in a week. There's no love story to ruin. (Alternately, if Asumu was anything like Eva, hooking Battler up with an orphan maid might be just as good of revenge.)
(Really, I think it's most likely that Battler never wrote a letter to Shannon. It's typical for Fukuins to leave after 3 years, and it would have been Shannon's seventh year on Rokkenjima. For all Battler knew, Shannon might have left years before.)
