Re: The Kent Funds (the "Trust") - CIK #799700
Request for Withdrawal of Amendment to Registration
Statement on Form N-1A
File Nos. 33-8398 and 811-4824
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act"), we are requesting that Post-Effective
Amendment No. 19 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") on March 6, 1996 via EDGAR as form type
485APOS and Accession #0000927405-96-000138 be withdrawn.
Post-Effective Amendment No. 19 was transmitted to the SEC
because we believed that Post-Effective Amendment No. 18 (filed
with the SEC on March 1, 1996) was an incomplete filing. In
speaking with Richard Pfordte, the SEC examiner, he advised us to
file another Post-Effective Amendment (Post-Effective Amendment
#19). At that time, we requested hard copies of both Post-
Effective Amendments from Disclosure.
Once receiving the paper copies, we realized that Post-
Effective Amendment No. 18 was received by the SEC in its
entirety. Accordingly, please withdraw Post-Effective Amendment
No. 19.
Any questions regarding this filing should be directed to
the undersigned at (617) 248-3502 or Laurie E. Buckley at (617)
248-3479.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Julie A. Tedesco
