Dear Mr. Newberry:
As was indicated to you by telephone last week, Martin Midstream Partners L.P. has advised that it expects to be able to respond by December 14, 2009 to the comments of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission contained in the letter dated November 16, 2009. The delay in response is attributable to the amount of time necessary to gather the requested information. The additional time should be sufficient to compile the information needed to respond to the comments.
If you would like to discuss any of these matters, please call me at 214.953.6420 or Neel Lemon at 214.953.6954.
| Very truly yours, Chad Burkhardt | ||||
