RE: FIRSTAR STELLAR FUNDS
1933 Act File No. 33-26915
1940 Act File No. 811-5762
REQUEST FOR WITHDRAWAL OF AMENDMENT TO REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM AW
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Firstar Stellar Funds (the "Trust"), this is a request to withdraw
the filing of Post-Effective Amendment No. 46 under the Securities Act of 1933
and Amendment No. 45 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to the Trust's
Registration Statement on Form AW (Accession number 0000898531-99-000176) (PEA
#46).
I understand that the Trust's filing was mistakenly submitted twice:
O Once on Monday, May 17, 1999 with accession number 0000898531-99-000175,
and
O Again on Monday, May 17, 1999 with accession number 0000898531-99-000176.
The Trust's filer encountered numerous problems in performing the filing on the
date indicated, including achieving only partial transmission of PEA #45 at
various times. In its desire to accomplish the filing, the Trust's filer
resubmitted PEA #45 soon after an attempt when it did not receive notification
of acceptance. Inadvertently the same document was filed twice and the
Securities and Exchange Commission essentially received Post-Effective Amendment
No. 45 and Post-Effective Amendment No. 46. To avoid any confusion, please
withdraw PEA #46 (accession number 0000898531-99-000176) pursuant to Rule 477(a)
under the Securities Act of 1933.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions
regarding this filing, please call the undersigned at (414) 287-3338.
Sincerely,
/s/ Elaine E. Richards
Elaine E. Richards, Esq.
Secretary
