Dear Ms. Duru:

 

On behalf of Peabody Energy Corporation (the “Company”), I write to confirm my understanding, based on our telephone conversation today, that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has taken no exception to the request by the Company for an extension from September 21, 2007 to October 19, 2007 for the Company to respond to the comments contained in the letter from the SEC staff to the Company dated August 21, 2007.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact me at (314) 342-7687 should you have any questions regarding this matter.

 

Very truly yours,

 

/s/ Bryan L. Sutter
