Re: The Calvert Fund
File numbers 2-76510 and 811-3416
Dear Ms. Browning:
This Form AW, Amendment Withdrawal Request, is submitted per Rule 477 of the Securities Act of 1933 to withdraw all of the filings (see below for the respective accession numbers and form types) made under Rule 485(a) for the creation of the Calvert Long Duration Income Fund, because these prior filings included a joint prospectus (grouping the new fund with two other existing bond funds), when in fact, the new fund will be offered in a standalone prospectus for its December 31, 2004 launch.
The filings I am withdrawing are as follows:
