Re: DELAWARE GROUP TAX-FREE FUND, INC. - CIK #0000728352
Request for Withdrawal of Amendment to Registration
Statement on Form N-1A
File No. 2-86606
______________________________________________________
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477(a) of the Securities Act of 1933,
submitted electronically via the EDGAR system, please find a
request for withdrawal of that version of Post-Effective
Amendment No. 23 for Delaware Group Tax-Free Fund, Inc. (the
"Registrant"), that was filed on Form Type 485BPOS for the
purpose of updating financial statements and was accepted by
the Commission on Thursday, October 30, 1997, at 11:15 a.m.
(Accession Number 0001036050-97-000912). The Registrant is
requesting withdrawal of that version because its filing
agent inadvertently omitted the signature page to the
registration statement from the transmission.

The Registrant's filing agent resubmitted Post-Effective
Amendment No. 23, including the signature page, on Form Type
485BPOS, which was accepted by the Commission on Thursday,
October 30, 1997, at 5:30 p.m. (Accession Number 0001036050-
97-000915). Registrant intends this latter version to be
unaffected by the requested withdrawal.
Very truly yours,
/s/Eric E. Miller
