Gentlemen:

Set forth below are our responses to the Staff's comments contained in a letter dated June 7, 2005, regarding Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by MainSource Financial Group, Inc. (the "Company") on May 19, 2005. The numbers of the following responses correspond to the numbers of the specific comments.

Form S-3

General

1. Attached as Exhibit 1 to this letter is a computation showing that the acquisition by the Company of The Madison Bank & Trust Company does not meet the tests for significance to require the inclusion of pro forma financial information for the transaction in the Registration Statement.

Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005

Item 1 - Financial Statements

2. Attached as Exhibit 2 to this letter is a computation showing that the discontinuance of the Kentucky operations of MainSource Insurance, LLC, as a result of the sale of the Kentucky office of MainSource Insurance, is not material to the Company's financial statements.

Note 4 - Securities - page 8

3. The disclosures required under SAB Topic 5:M and EITF 03-1 for the unrealized losses in the Company's available-for-sale portfolio are expressly required only in year-end financial statements and filings, and not quarterly financial statements and filings. Management considered the nature and extent of such unrealized losses and as discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (in the second paragraph under the heading "Investment Securities"), management determined that the decline in value was the result of increases in market interest rates and has determined that the unrealized losses were not other than temporary. Therefore, the unrealized losses were not recognized into net income.

If you have additional comments or questions regarding this letter or the amendment, you may contact me at 317-684-5131 or my partner, Karen Ball Woods, at 317-684-5376.

Sincerely,
/s/ Alan W. Becker
