请指教:All that was missing

▲It was a small love letter Janet had written. The note could look like a schoolgirl's scrawls about her dream guy. All that was missing was a drawing of a heart with the names John and Janet written in it. 中的<主语从句> All that was missing,没看懂。请专家 Beachy 能解释一下吗?

▲It was a small love letter Janet had written. The note could look like a schoolgirl's scrawls about her dream guy. All that was missing was a drawing of a heart with the names John and Janet written in it.

▲句中的 All that was missing 并非主语从句,其实此句真正的主语是 all,that was missing 是修饰 all 的定语从句,意思是“缺少的是……”。all that 在此相当于 what,或相当于the thing that。句末的 with the names John and Janet written in it 是 with 复合结构,作定语,修饰 a drawing of a heart。

▲全句大意:那是珍妮特写的一封小情书,是一名女生潦潦草草写给她的梦中情人的小情书,只差没在上面画一颗写有约翰和珍妮特名字的心形图案。

请问:主语从句 All that was missing 中的 that,是代替 The note 的吗?

我认为that这个关系代词很显然代替先行词all, 而all虽然与note 有联系,但是并非完全指代该词,而是指note上的内容。All that was missing = All thing in the note was missing意思:纸条上所缺失的(东西)只是/ 仅仅是。还要特别注意:此时与单名连用的all往往含有【言其少】之意。“纸条上唯一所缺失的是……” All that you need to do is put up your phone call. 你唯一须做的仅仅是拿起电话。
