Lettice as a name for girls is of Latin origin, and the name Lettice means "joy". Lettice is an alternate form of Letitia (Latin): Latin variant of the name.

I thought it was the Mr. Bugg (as in Bug) Show and she was part of the Mr. Bugg Fan Club.  All of the members had cutesy garden related names like Lucy Lettuce, Rover Clover, Rita Rose and Onion Breath, just to mention a few.

My sister told me that means "I love you" she used to do that with letters she mailed to me.

Really?  Never heard of that.

Not just upside down, but at different angles, etc.

Quote
Stamp Positions & Meaning
Upside down, top left corner = I love you
Crosswise on top left corner = My heart is another’s
Centre of envelope, at top = Yes
Center of envelope, at bottom = No
Straight up and down, any position = Goodbye sweetheart
Upside down, top right corner = Write no more
At right angle, top right corner = Do you love me?
At right angle, top left corner = I hate you
Upright top right corner = I desire your friendship
Upright in line with surname = Accept my love
Upside down in line with surname = I am engaged
At right angle in line with the surname = I long to see you
Centred on right edge = Write immediately!

That was in the past, though.  Got to be in the upper right corner now, for ease of postmarking.  Still OK to have them upside down, though.

Thanks for the info! @Rikki Gins  I never knew any of that; especially that you were once able to put stamps on other parts of the envelope.

You bet @ShayP.  PB taught me about the upside down and sideways stamps, but to be honest, I hadn't known about putting the stamps anywhere on the envelope.  That was a new one on me, too.

73's Rikki! I wonder why the Rouch's card says KLN7598 but their signature says KLN2512? Hm...
