     Registration Statement on Form S-3 Filed July 21, 2021

     File No. 333-258065

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned Registrant under the above-referenced Registration Statement hereby requests acceleration of the effective date of the Registration Statement to July 27, 2021 at 4:00 p.m., New York time, or as soon thereafter as practicable.

We acknowledge that 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; the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Registrant from its full responsibility for the adequacy  and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and the Registrant may not assert the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Very truly yours, GAMCO Investors, Inc.
