Re:   The John W. Henry/Millburn LP - file no. 0-18215


Dear Ms Luckey:

In response to your comment letter dated May 10 for the above referenced file
number, we would like to assure the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
that we have received the manually signed annual reports from our auditors,
Deloitte and Touche, prior to submitting our 10K files via EDGAR. We maintain
these manual signatures in our files on site for 18 months and then are housed
off site for 10 years. We will indicate the auditor signature electronically
in futures filings.

We are reviewing the additional comments included in your letter and will be
responding later this month regarding your concerns.

If you have any further inquiries, you may contact me directly at 609-282-6091
or via email at barbra_kocsis@ml.com. You may also contact the Chief Financial
Officer, Michael Pungello.

Regards

\s\ Barbra E. Kocsis
