Re:

Registration Statement on Form S-11, Filed
April 16, 2021
File No. 333-255321
Dear Messrs. Dunham and Lewis:
This letter sets forth the responses of our client, Terra Property
Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), to the comments by the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission provided on May 12, 2021, regarding the Company’s registration statement on Form S-11 (SEC File No. 333-255321),
as originally filed on April 16, 2021 (the “Registration Statement”). The Company is concurrently filing Pre-Effective Amendment
No. 1 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 1”), which includes changes in response to the Staff’s comments,
as well as updates to reflect the Company’s first quarter financial information.
For your convenience, we have set forth below each of the Staff’s
comments followed by the relevant response. Unless otherwise indicated, page references in the responses refer to Amendment No. 1.
General
1. Comment: We note your cover page discloses general liabilities of $46 million as of December 31, 2020 which will rank pari
passu with your notes. Please similarly quantify the total amount of indebtedness senior to these notes.
In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised its
disclosure on the cover page of Amendment No. 1 to quantify the total amount of indebtedness senior to these notes.
Policies with Respect to Certain Activities and Market Risk
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, page
50
2. Comment: In this section you state that in the event LIBOR is unavailable, your investment documents provide for a substitute
index intended to put you in substantially the same economic position. This language appears inconsistent with your disclosure on page
25, which indicates that some of your debt and loan assets may not include robust fallback language that would facilitate replacing LIBOR
with a clearly defined alternative reference rate after LIBOR’s discontinuation. Please revise to reconcile these statements and
clarify if the company has material exposure to risks associated with the expected discontinuation of LIBOR based on debt or assets that
do not have robust fallback language.
The Company confirms that its investment documents provide for a substitute
index, on a basis generally consistent with market practice, intended to put the Company in substantially the same economic position as
LIBOR. Accordingly, in response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 25 of Amendment No. 1 under
the heading “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business— The expected discontinuance of the London interbank offered
rate and transition to alternative reference rates may adversely impact our borrowings and assets” to remove the reference to the
lack of robust fallback language.
Description of the Notes
Indenture Provisions - Ranking, page 61
3. Comment: Please revise to clarify how your notes rank compared to your obligations under both participation agreements and
the A-note, which totaled $89.5 million as of December 31, 2020.
The Company confirms that the notes will be effectively and structurally subordinated to its obligations under both participation agreements
and the A-note. Accordingly, in response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on the cover page and pages
13, 17 and 61 of Amendment No. 1 under the headings “Summary—Specific Terms of the Notes and the Offering,” “Risk
Factors—Risks Related to Our Notes” and “Description of the Notes—Indenture Provisions—Ranking,” respectively,
to clarify the ranking of the notes relative to the participation agreements and the A-note.
Should you have any further questions or need additional information,
please do not hesitate to contact me at 404-881-4417.
Sincerely,
/s/ Rosemarie A. Thurston

Filed November 6, 2019
File No. 000-56117
Dear Ms. Gorman and Lippmann:
On behalf of our client,
Terra Property Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), set forth below are the Company’s responses to the comments
of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on
the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10-12G (the “Registration Statement”), as set forth in the
Staff’s letter dated December 2, 2019 (the “December 2 Letter”). The comments and responses follow the
same order as contained in the December 2 Letter.
In addition, we enclose
for filing Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Registration Statement. The amendment is marked to show all changes from the
last filing of the Registration Statement on November 6, 2019.
Form 10-12G
General
1. We note that you intend to operate your business in a manner that will permit you to maintain
an exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Please be advised that you are responsible
for analyzing how your investments, investment strategy and business model will support that exemption. The staff has not reviewed
and does not necessarily concur with disclosure with respect to the availability of that exemption.
RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and understands that it is responsible for analyzing how its investments, investment strategy and business
model support an exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
2. We note that your shares are currently held by only two entities, as disclosed on page 38.
Please revise your disclosure to clarify how you determined that you will qualify as a REIT.
RESPONSE: While the shares of
common stock of the Company is currently held by only two entities, the Company has issued 125 shares of preferred stock to 125
individuals in compliance with the real estate investment trust ("REIT") 100 shareholder requirement. This
is described on pages 81, 82 and 83 of the Form 10. The 125 preferred shares were issued in December 2016 and remain outstanding
to date in compliance with the REIT 100 shareholder requirement, which applies starting in a REIT's second taxable year.
In addition, while the common stock of the Company is currently held by only two entities, ownership for purposes of the closely-held
test is determined on a look-through basis to determine if 50% of the Company is ultimately held by five or fewer individuals.
The Company has determined that the entities owning the common stock of the Company are widely held. In any event, the ownership
and transfer restrictions described on pages 83-86 of the Registration Statement describe the mechanism the Company uses to ensure
that it will not be closely held or otherwise fail to qualify as a REIT.
Exclusive Forum, page 89
3. We note that your forum selection provision identifies the Circuit Court for Baltimore City,
Maryland, as the exclusive forum for certain litigation, including any "derivative action." Please disclose whether this
provision applies to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. In that regard, we note that Section 27 of the Exchange
Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act
or the rules and regulations thereunder, and Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state
courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.
If the provision applies to Securities Act claims, please also revise your disclosure to state that there is uncertainty as to
whether a court would enforce such provision and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the
rules and regulations thereunder. If this provision does not apply to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act,
please revise your disclosure to clarify this and ensure that the exclusive forum provision in the governing documents states this
clearly.
RESPONSE: The Company advises
the Staff that the exclusive forum provision included in the Company’s bylaws does not apply to actions arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company has adopted amended and restated
bylaws which clearly state that such provision does not apply to the federal securities laws. In addition, in response to the Staff’s
comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 89 in the Registration Statement regarding the exclusive forum provision
to clarify that such provision does not apply to actions arising under the federal securities laws.
We appreciate the Staff’s
review of this response letter. If you have any questions regarding the matters discussed herein, please contact the undersigned
at (212) 878-3302.
