It's December 1913; the weather is cold, the nights are long, there's no radio, TV, or internet; and Herman Harms isn't "nervy" … he's just missing his Minnie.

Have you ever heard of the language of postage stamps? I believe an upside down stamp meant 'I love you'.

I've heard of the language of flowers, but never of the language of postage stamps! That's a new one for me. Well, an upside-down stamp would be about right, here, if they both knew what it meant.
