RE:     PC&J  PRESERVATION  FUND,  FILES  NO.  333-113191
        -------------------------------------------------

Dear  Sir  or  Madam:

     On  March  1,  2004,  the  PC&J  Preservation Fund, a registered investment
company (the "Trust") submitted, via electronic filing, a Registration Statement
on Form N1-A.  Please allow this letter to serve as an application for immediate
withdrawal  of such Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 477 under the
Securities  Act  of  1933,  as  amended.  We  intended to file such Registration
Statement  as  a  Form  Type  485APOS  filing,  but  inadvertently filed it as a
Registration  Statement.

     We  hereby request, on behalf of the Trust, that the Registration Statement
be  withdrawn.  If  you  have any questions or comments, please contact JoAnn M.
Strasser  at  (513)  352-6725.

                                   Very  truly  yours,

                                        /s/

                                   THOMPSON  HINE  LLP
