Transcription
My dearest I have just telegraphed you that my name is spelled wrong on invitations [sic] "Seiberiling" [sic] one i [sic] too many. This is undoubtedly the error of the printer as you certainly would spell it right and if so he should be made to furnish new ones without charge at once. Should he not be able to do so you can telegraph me and I will get them out by next Monday. Of course the mistake is most unfortunate but dont [sic] go to crying over it my love. If we have to send these out it wont [sic] make much difference as 4/5 of those that read them wont [sic] detect the error. I must close and will try and write this evening.
With deepest love
Your FrankTranscriber
