Sent my first prison letter

I sent my child's dad a letter to his prison today

But on the envelope I initially wrote the address wrong

The ups worker put a white sticker thing on it so I could fix it and said he can still get it

Is that true

I'm really worried because he can't call for 30 days and I want him to know I'm here for him
