Letters from a host (4)

I believe the answer is:

rsvp

(Other definitions for rsvp that I've seen before include "Reply to invitation initially" , "Notation meaning answer the invitation" , "Reply to the invitation, please" , "Answer! (Fr.)" , "Can you come to the party?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
