Re: Selective Insurance Group, Inc. (the "Company")
Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-129927)
--------------------------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 461 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we
respectfully request that the effective date of the Registration Statement on
Form S-4 (File No. 333-129927) be accelerated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") to 4:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on December 2,
2005, or as soon as practicable thereafter.
Pursuant to your letter dated November 29, 2005, the Company hereby
acknowledges (i) should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to
delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the
Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; (ii) the action of
the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in
declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Company from its full
responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;
and (iii) the Company may not assert this action as a defense in any proceeding
initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of
the United States.
We request that we be notified of such effectiveness by a telephone
call to the undersigned at (973) 948-1310 and that such effectiveness also be
confirmed in writing.
Very truly yours,
SELECTIVE INSURANCE GROUP, INC.
