Schedule TO filed August 22, 2005 by MacKenzie 	Patterson Fuller, Inc. et al. SEC File No. 005-54251 Dear Mr. Patterson: We have reviewed the above-referenced filing and have the following comments. Please make corresponding changes, where applicable, to each of the above-referenced filings in response to these comments. Schedule TO-T How much are you offering to pay and what is the form of payment? Page 5 1. In this subsection, and in the introduction found on page 8, you state that tendering Unit holders will not have to pay brokerage fees or commissions. Will you reimburse tendering Unit holders for any such fees if their Units are held and tendered through a broker? If not, please revise your disclosure to clarify. Section 6. Material Federal Income Tax Consequences, page 14 2. We note that you assume that the partnership is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and is not a "publicly traded partnership" as that term is defined in the Code. Please revise or advise holders as to why you are unable to clarify this uncertainty.
