Re: Northeast Utilities Service Company, et al.
File No. 70-8699
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We understand that, through an error in our transmission of the First
Amendment to the Application/Declaration in the above-referenced file, that
Amendment was treated as a new filing and assigned File No. 70-8745. We
request that the Commission withdraw the filing in File No. 70-8745. We are
retransmitting the First Amendment, properly marked, in File No. 70-8699.
Please call me at 203-977-7381 with any questions.
Very truly yours,
Paul N. Belval
