It depends on the weight of the letter and the dollar amount of the stamps. I'd take it to the post office to be sure.

The # of stamps depends on how much the letter weighs. If she sent u an envelope and it was bulging, then that is why she needed 3 stamps. If u send her an envelope of the same description then you may want to use 3 stamps just to be safe. If you are only sending her 1-3 pieces of paper, 1 stamp should be just fine.
The value of the stamps is just as important as the number of stamps also. Stamps come in all kinds of values: 1 cent, 5 cents, 41 cents, 75 cents, etc...
You can always go to www.USPS.com and look up the letter and pkg guidelines so that your mail wont be returned.
GOOD LUCK!

I am continually surprised by this sort of question - when posting a letter the NUMBER of stamps is not important - what is important is the VALUE of the stamp(s) - if your local post office has one stamp of the required value then you only put one stamp.
Letters cost different amounts - depending on how heavy they are - where their going - whether they are normal or express - whether surface mail or airmail.
If you do not know how much the stamps to put on are - go to your post office and they will tell you and sell you the stamp(s) - which may be one , two, three or more to make up the correct value for your letter.

Postage for a normal letter is now 41 cents. If you have 39 cent stamps left, get some 2 cent stamps to go with them.
If your letter is heavier than normal, have it weighed at the post office or a mail store to see how much postage you need on it.

From where to where?
In the US postage is 41 cents, PER OUNCE.
Using an old 39 cent stamp, a two cent stamp must be added.
Any more than that is overpaying.
An ordinary letter is less than an ounce. If weight is added, it must be weighed.

depends on the weight of the letter, and where you mailing it to. A standard 13oz letter only needs.41 cents worth of postage in the US.
