Hmmm, I don't think it's a dot, just a speck on the paper.  His i-dots in 'Violet' and 'April' are very well defined.

`And it would be a lovely memory of her wedding day - it no doubt contained the hymns and the prayers used in the ceremony. It would bring back more memories than a toaster!

Argh!  It's clearly A MEMORY.
Compare the letters with those in the other words. 
I agree totally with Sloe Gin - might not make sense to us, but obviously did to the giver and recipient.
