We have reviewed the registration statement and have provided our comments below. Where a comment is made with regard to disclosure in one location, it is applicable to all similar disclosure appearing elsewhere in the registration statement. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meaning given to them in the registration statement. Please respond to this letter within ten (10) business days by either amending the filing, providing the requested information, or advising us when you will provide the requested information. We may have additional comments after reviewing your responses to the following comments, or any amendment to the filing. We note that the Fund is voluntarily registering shares of its common stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). Please note that a filing on Form 10 goes effective automatically by lapse of time 60 days after the original filing date, pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12(g)(1). If our comments are not satisfactorily addressed within this 60-day time period, you should consider withdrawing the Form 10 prior to its effectiveness and re-filing a revised Form 10 that includes changes responsive to our comments. If the Fund chooses not to withdraw its Form 10 registration statement, it will be subject to the reporting requirements of Exchange Act Section 13(a). Additionally, we will continue to review the filing until all of our comments have been satisfactorily addressed. General

1. We note that portions of the registration statement are incomplete. We may have additional comments on such portions when you complete them in a pre-effective

2. Please confirm in correspondence that Form N-54A will be filed as required.

3. Please explain in correspondence whether the Fund expects to use leverage during its first year of operations.

4. Please include an estimate of organizational and offering costs incurred to date in an amendment and provide such disclosure in the correspondence response. In addition, please consider disclosing the accounting treatment for these costs that aligns with the disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. Explanatory Note, page 3

5. Please add the following to the bolded bullet points:

a. “An investment in the Fund is suitable only for sophisticated investors and requires the financial ability and willingness to accept the high risks inherent in an investment in the Fund.” b. “The Fund intends to invest primarily in privately-held companies for which very little public information exists.” Item 1. Business, page 6

6. Please disclose in the appropriate subsection of Item 1 that under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s assets will be invested in private credit for purposes of Rule 35d-1 under the 1940 Act. Please also describe what “private credit” means for purpose of complying with that test.

7. Please explain in correspondence whether the fund intends to utilize unitranche loans. If yes, please add disclosure describing such use.

8. In the first full paragraph on page 7, disclosure indicates that certain investors have been provided with certain terms that other investors will not receive.

9. Regarding the Barclays Cooperation Agreement:

a. Please supplementally explain whether any Barclays entity holds interests in the Advisor or in the Fund, and if so, how much.

Mr. Taylor Boswell AGL Private Credit Income Fund LP May 15, 2024 Page 3 b. Please disclose whether Barclays has full discretion to directly lend to a company that otherwise would be referred to the Adviser. c. Disclosure on page 88 indicates that “[i]t is possible that Barclays will have an existing loan to or an investment in a company that it refers to the Adviser pursuant to the Barclays Cooperation Agreement”. Please advise what protections are in place to ensure that any opportunities provided to the Adviser are in the Fund’s best interest, rather than to benefit Barclays. d. Page 13 states that “Barclays refers to our Adviser all qualifying Private Credit opportunities that are presented to them and provides our Adviser with exclusive access to deal flow originated by its investment banking platform.” Please disclose how the Fund is defining “exclusive access”. e. Please enhance the disclosure around the conflicts that this arrangement presents. For example, disclose that:

i. the opportunities provided to the Adviser may be of lesser investment quality than would be the case if Barclays did not have the ability to lend to a company instead of referring it to the Adviser. ii.. the Adviser may be reluctant to terminate the agreement because doing so could result in it having less capital available for investment (because some investors can cancel their capital commitment if the agreement is terminated).

Overview of the Adviser, page 7

10. The first paragraph on page 8 references the Resource Sharing Agreement.

a. Please explain to us how the Resource Sharing Agreement operates and why it is not an advisory contract within the meaning of the 1940 Act. Please address:

i. Specific services AGL and its employees will provide on the Adviser’s behalf and why those services do not amount to advisory services provided to the Fund; ii. The extent to which the Adviser will depend on AGL’s personnel; iii. Whether AGL personnel who provide investment advice with respect to the Fund will be supervised persons of the Adviser under Sec. 202(a)(25) of the Advisers Act; iv.
