RE: Request by Bridgeport Ventures Inc. for Withdrawal of Form RW filed October 7, 2010 with respect to Registration Statement on Form 20-F (File No. 001-34721)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Bridgeport Ventures Inc., we hereby request the withdrawal of the Form RW filed at approximately 5:11 p.m. EST on October 7, 2010 because the Form RW did not include the “Tandy” language, which the Commission has since requested be included. We are refiling the Form RW, including such language, immediately following the filing of this request.
Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions regarding this withdrawal request, please do not hesitate to contact me at (757) 687-7715.
Sincerely,
/s/ Thomas M. Rose
