Re:      Wells Fargo Funds Trust
           Registration Statement on Form N-14
           File Number:  333-

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the General Rules and Regulations thereunder, enclosed for filing electronically is the Registration Statement on Form N-14 of Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the "Trust").  This filing relates to the acquisition of the assets of:

-- Evergreen Core Plus Bond Fund, a series of Evergreen Fixed Income Trust, by and in exchange for shares of Wells Fargo Advantage Income Plus Fund (an “Acquiring Fund”), a series of the Trust;

-- Evergreen Core Bond Fund and Evergreen Short Intermediate Bond Fund, both series of Evergreen Select Fixed Income Trust, and Wells Fargo Advantage Diversified Bond Fund, a series of the Trust, by and in exchange for shares of Wells Fargo Advantage Total Return Bond Fund (an “Acquiring Fund”), a series of the Trust;

The Prospectus/Proxy Statement which constitutes Part A of the Registration Statement will be used in connection with a special joint meeting of shareholders of Evergreen Core Plus Bond Fund, Evergreen Core Bond Fund, Evergreen Short Intermediate Bond Fund and Wells Fargo Advantage Diversified Bond Fund (the “Target Funds”), at which shareholders of the Target Funds will be asked to vote on the proposed acquisition of their fund by the respective Acquiring Funds listed above.  Included in the Registration Statement is the form of proxy that will be used in connection with such meeting of shareholders.

At this time, the Registrant respectively requests an effective date of February 22, 2008 pursuant to Rule 488 under the Securities Act.

No registration fee is being paid at the time of filing because the Trust has previously filed an election under Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to register an indefinite number of shares.

Any questions or comments with respect to this filing may be directed to the undersigned at (617) 210-3682.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Maureen E. Towle
