Dear Mr. Ganley:
We filed a 485(a) amendment to our Form N-1A registration post-effective
amendment #34 on May 25, 1999 to add eleven new series of the Fund. This letter
is to notify you that we wish to withdraw this application. These series of the
Fund have never been operational, and we never offered shares to investors.
Exeter Fund, Inc., hereby requests withdrawal of the above-referenced amendment
pursuant to Rule 477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933.
Please call me at 716-325-6880 if you have any questions on this matter.
