Dear Mr. Nolan:
This letter confirms an exchange of voice mail messages between me and John Spitz over the last 24 hours in which we stated, and Mr. Spitz did not object, that, due to the timing of the recent quarter end, Bank Mutual Corporation would respond by November 6, 2009 to the Staff comments included in the letter from you to Michael Dosland dated October 9, 2009.
Thank you for your consideration of and flexibility on this matter. If we have any specific questions as we complete Bank Mutual Corporation’s response, we will contact you or Mr. Spitz. Additionally, please let me know if you have any questions of us.
| Very truly yours, QUARLES & BRADY LLP | ||||
