Re: Evergreen Trust
Registration No. 2-40357/811-2193
Members of the Commission:
Evergreen Trust (the "Registrant") hereby withdraws its post-effective amendment
Nos. 33 filed under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of
1940, respectively. The purpose of the filing was to add the Evergreen Small Cap
Value Fund as an additional series to the Registrant. A change in circumstances
has occurred since the filing was made on March 19, 1997 such that the
Registrant does not now intend to offer the series. Registrant's post-effective
amendment was to become effective on June 2, 1997.
Please contact the undersigned at 914 641-2206 if there are any questions
regarding this matter.
Thank you.
Very truly yours,
James P. Wallin
