English Grammar – Revert vs Reply

Revert

Definition: to return to a former state; to start doing something again that you used to do in the past

Example: Please do not revert to your old habits.

Reply

Definition: to say or write something as an answer to somebody or something

Example: I will reply to his letter shortly.

Therefore, “I will revert to his letter shortly” is INCORRECT!
