Re: | Vanguard Wellington Fund (the “Trust”) | ||
Request for Withdrawal of Registration Statement on Form N-1A | |||
Dear Ms. Larkin: | |||
Pursuant to Rule 477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, the Trust requests the | |||
withdrawal of the following Registration Statement filed on November 28, 2017. | |||
Date Filed | Submission Type | Accession Number | |
11/28/2017 | 485APOS | 0000932471-17-005685 | |
The Trust is requesting such withdrawal because the Registration Statement was made | |||
with a separate series inadvertently identified as a class of another series. No securities of the | |||
Trust were sold, or will be sold, pursuant to the Registration Statement. It is therefore in the best | |||
interest of the Trust and the public that the filing be withdrawn. It is our understanding that this | |||
application for withdrawal of the Registration Statement be deemed granted as of the date it is | |||
filed with the SEC unless the Trust receives notice from the SEC that this application will not be | |||
granted. Please direct any communications concerning this filing to Jaliya Faulkner at (610) 669- | |||
2153. | |||
Sincerely, | |||
VANGUARD WELLINGTON FUND | |||
Laura J. Merianos | |||
Assistant Secretary |
