on Form N-2

SEC File Nos. 333-234139; 811-23265

Dear Mr. Sutcliffe:

Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, AIP Alternative Lending Fund A (the “Registrant”) hereby requests that the effective date of Post-Effective
Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form N-2 (the “Registration Statement”) be accelerated so that the
Registration Statement may become effective at 3:00 pm, Eastern Time, on January 29, 2020, or as soon as practicable thereafter.

In connection with this request, the Registrant
hereby acknowledges that (i) should the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) or its staff, acting
pursuant to delegated authority, declare the Registration Statement effective, such action will not foreclose the Commission from
taking any action with respect to the Registration Statement; (ii) the action of the Commission or its staff, acting pursuant to
delegated authority, in declaring the Registration Statement effective, will not relieve the Registrant from its full responsibility
for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Registration Statement; and (iii) the Registrant may not assert such action
as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission under the federal securities laws of the United States.

The Registrant requests that notification of
such effectiveness be made by telephone call to Jeremy Senderowicz of Dechert LLP, legal counsel to the Registrant, at 212-641-5669.

Very truly yours,

    AIP ALTERNATIVE LENDING FUND A
