Re: St. Paul Capital L.L.C.
----------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On April 21, 1995, a Form 8-A (the "Form 8-A") was filed on behalf of
St. Paul Capital L.L.C. The Form 8-A was filed using incorrect EDGAR codes.
The codes used were those of The St. Paul Companies, Inc. (CIK 0000086312,
file number 001-10898, accession number 0000912057-95-002596), the parent
corporation of St. Paul Capital L.L.C., rather than the codes for St. Paul
Capital L.L.C.
We hereby request that the Form 8-A be withdrawn. We have filed a new
Form 8-A for St. Paul Capital L.L.C. using the correct EDGAR codes.
Please contact the undersigned at (212) 558-3161 should you require
further information.
Thank you for your help.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Richard D. Smith
