Re: U.S. HomeCare Corporation
File No. 333-4791
Dear Mr. Tolbert:
Due to the passage of almost a full calendar year since the filing of
the above-referenced registration statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration
Statement") filed May 30, 1996, U.S. HomeCare Corporation (the "Registrant")
hereby applies for the withdrawal of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule
477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The
Registrant has taken no further action with respect to the Registration
Statement since the initial filing and does not consider the information
contained therein to be current. Please advise us as to when an order for
withdrawal may be issued.
Thank you for your kind help with this matter. Please do not hesitate
to call me at (860) 278-7242, ext. 16 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
/s/ Gerald J. Boisvert, Jr.
