RE: Multistate Tax-Free Trust - CIK No. 0000880003
Request for Withdrawal of Registration Statement on Form RW
File No. 033-58331
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On March 30, 1995, Nuveen Multistate Tax-Free Trust (the
"Registrant") attempted to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") a post-effective amendment to its
registration statement on Form N-1A (the "Registration Statement")
under Rule 485(b). The submission was made electronically through
the Commission's EDGAR system, accession number 0000950131-95-
000822, was accepted at 8:11 p.m. on March 30, 1995, and was
assigned a filing date of March 31, 1995. This submission
resulted in the Registrant being assigned the file number of 033-
58331.
On April 3, 1995, the staff of the Commission notified the
Registrant that this filing had been transmitted with an incorrect
form type of "N-1A." A subsequent EDGAR filing using the proper
form type of "485B24E," was made the same day and accepted at 5:16
p.m. on April 3, 1995, accession number 0000950131-95-000862.
Subsequently, the Commission adjusted the filing date to March 31,
1995 to correspond with the original filing.
The Registrant respectfully requests withdrawal of the
registration statement filed on March 30, 1995, accession number
0000950131-95-000822, pursuant to Rule 477(a) under the Securities
Act of 1933, resulting in the withdrawal of the file number of
033-58331.
Sincerely,
Gifford R. Zimmerman
Vice President and Assistant Secretary
Multistate Tax-Free Trust
